Hi guys
Mocking together some artillery teams, 3 deployed, 3 towed, I’m converting the airfix crews, except 1 of each pose for nostalgic reasons, I’ll put them all in the 1 gun crew, I also need to make the mounted and seated figures fit on their horses and limbers, a bit a carving will do the trick, horses, guns, limbers and most of the heads are 3D printed.
Hi guys
WIP update of my 1/72 2nd Rhode Island infantry regt, they are about 60% done, I’m pretty happy with how they are turning out, I think I need another standard bearer.
Hi guys
Reworked the guns and Limber wheels, reduced their diameter to 57in at 1/72, which is 20.1mm, and made them skinnier, they look much better with the Airfix crew now.
I’ve also taken some pics of the 1/72 3D prints of the Iron Brigade I’ve been working on, I’ve printed about 50-60 of these, they are just the ones I’ve quickly cleaned the supports off to take the pics, these have been made from the wargames atlantic digital set, it’s pretty limited, 4 standing bodies in frock coat, 3 types of head gear, and various arms, it could really do with a command set, a kneeling body and marching bodies, I managed to create some kneeling and casualty poses by combing with some other sets, and I have created some drummers and standard bearers, I need to work on some officers next.
Hi guys
Opinion wanted, do these guns and limbers look to big? I used the barrel measurements to reduce these 3D guns to 1/72, but I’m thinking the wheels look to big, especially with the airfix crew, which are really 1/76, I’m thinking I should reduce them by 10%, mine are the black guns and limber on the left, the black gun and limber on the right are Airfix, the blue gun and limber are Italeri, and the brown gun carriage is Italeris Napoleonic British gun carriage thrown in for scale.
I’ve also taken some pics of the 2nd Rhode Island infantry regiment with its undercoat on, I’m pretty happy with this set of figs, though I need to make another standard bearer, I have been working on files to 3D print some iron brigade figures, will post pics of those soon.
