1/72 Colonial Machine Guns and Crew!
Dated: August 24, 2009
It has taken me a long time to finish several of the new HäT Colonial figures including two of the Heavy Machine Guns and some crew. Now I know I have mixed up the crew members of several sets but hey: they go so well together!
I have put the two machine guns on large round plastic GW bases for handling in games. I decided to glue the crew who were directly handling the guns on, as opposed to leaving them off for casualty removal. This certainly provides a more evocative scene.
Below are some pictures of the Gatling gun.
Some of the Royal Artillery crew, I specially like the officer in the braided patrol jacket:
Royal Navy Landing Party:
The figures are very easy to paint as they have just enough equipement to look the part but not overloaded with gear. The level of detail on the figures is good so one can paint to ones heart's content!
Well I hope you have enjoyed this contribution!
Cheers Sander!
