Re: Trouble at bridge

Where's that confounded bridge?

Re: Trouble at bridge

Many thanks for the compliments and enquiries about my Stamford Bridge submission.
I feel timing of the posting of the same is a bit unfortunate following straight on from Borodino's immaculate last and General Pictons realistic High Road.
Minuteman has it right, for me I just try to put the lads in some kind of setting as a basic enhancement of my painted figures before they are destined for the box and the attic.
The bridge was scratch made from barbecue skewers and matchsticks. I needed to make it so the Saxon scallywag could thrust up with his spear between the planking and put paid to the Viking champion by underbridge methods. This figure was the only one that wasnt Strelets but an Emhar deckhand (the pose was right and he fit in the barrel).
Thank you, for the encouragement.
Paul

If you mean geographically rather than metaphorically...Stamford Bridge is in Yorkshire, not too far from York. It is not the Stamford Bridge in London used by a rich and famous football club. That is something else altogether....

Re: Trouble at bridge

Great stuff Paul, most take photo`s of my Anglo Saxons and send them in, and finish the French pikemen, not touched a brush in weeks.

Reet Proper Grand!

The figures all look fantastic, the bridge is excellent, and there's a real feel of a battle in progress here. Great scene.

The Special Barrel Service operative is a very cool detail. :sunglasses:
