The gunners are a mixture of Jacklex and Scruby figures. Jacklex never produced any Boer gunners commercially although apparently some prototypes were made – click here. The Jacklex figures in this crew are BW6 Horse Holder and PEA5 Officer (from the Mexican War range).
There is good news on the Boer artillery front however as Newline Designs have just released a Pompom gun and crew. I already have a couple of Pompoms from Raventhorpe Miniatures but this newer offering looks a bit more businesslike so I will probably get some in due course.
This period is so tempting, and this artillery is looking so nice...and I love your realistic and splendid base, excellent!
ReplyDeleteHi Phil - yes it's an under represented period in wargaming but offers some excellent scenarios without the need for hundreds of figures.
DeleteThis collection is coming along nicely, but you'll surely need an armoured train?
ReplyDeleteI've got the Terry Wise Airfix Mgazine articles on making a Boer War armoured train up on Vintage Wargaming- they are inspirational
DeleteNo armoured train planned at the moment as I still need to build up the British infantry. However it's a possibility for the future!
