I’m quite shocked to see that it’s been a year and a half since I painted the first 6 figures of the Gordons but here at last is the completed unit. All the figures used are by Jacklex.The main reason for the delay is that I painted a lot of Napoleonic figures last year but now that I have a permanent wargames table it has given me the incentive to finish the Boer War armies.
I’m very close to having the forces I need to refight the battle of Elandslaagte which was the initial aim for this project. The Boers are all finished but the British still need some more artillery and a unit of dismounted Imperial Light Horse. I hope to get these done soon but we’ll see!
Wow, splendid uniforms and paint job Stryker, they look the part!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil although I have simplified things by not painting those dreaded stocking tops!
Deleteand we look forward to seeing it!
ReplyDeleteYes, me too Ross!
DeleteStirring stuff Sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, I'm looking forward to a grand parade!
DeleteHi Ian- Glad to see your Boer War Project going ahead- your certainly near the stage of your battle of Elandslaagte. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kev, this was always going to be a slow project but it's good to see the end in sight.
DeleteExcellent painting skills Ian, they look wonderful! Now if they can just get close enough to those pesky Boers to use those bayonets! I can't wait to see your battle when it's complete!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brad, I'll try not to get so distracted that I leave it for another year!
