Here are a few shots of my own taken during the previous photography session, and a few older ones.
I created the war elephant out of disappointment with HaT's offering, their 1/72 set pantographed up to 54mm. The elephant was puny, with the crew jammed into a tower the size of an old telephone booth. I retained most of the crew figures, but drafted a more imposing Schleich elephant for war and scratchbuilt my own tower. The archer comes from a David & Goliath set, with a headswap he becomes a Hellenistic soldier. The phalanx are converted Italeri Carthaginians.

Very attractive figures, (as always). There's a lot to be said for dabbling in various periods/scales without feeling that everything needs to involve hundred's of figures.
ReplyDeleteI have a prototype Hat elephant that will one day be painted up with a 40mm crew. Probably a 19thC draft elephant.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! I loved those pirates!

Thanks Ross & David.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the dabbling, my lack of focus has been more a flaw than a virtue. Would that I had the patience to stick to the hundreds of figures. Flitting from period to period is a good way to wind up with a shed full of unpainted figures.

Great work Steve! The elephants and pirate scene are especially nice. It's really good to see wargaming figures displayed as if it were a diorama.

That is great work and nice conversions
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Anth. Not so much here for 1/32 fans I'm afraid, but welcome to the blog.
