Revell 2566 Imperial Artillery 30YW

[Peter]

Just to show that I am still painting figures some officers of the Revell 2566 Imerial Atillery 30YW. I must confess that I didn't know that this were officers and that their pikes are to fire their guns. This information I got from our friend Steve in this topic: Thirthy Years War Project.









Does this count as a mistake?

A little bit more blabla and a few more pictures on my blog: Peter's Cave

Nicely done Peter. You've made a nice job of them.

With regard to the comments about linstock and partisans, all it would take is to trim the 'arms' - artillerists probably have a name for these, but they are strange people who speak loudly and smell of burned powder, a lot. But if you trim those arms off they'd look like the partisan that a normal soldier would carry.

These are the people that I got my partisan off - http://www.thetwojs.uk/Polearms.htm - their partisan head is very similar to the tip of the Revell linstocks.

Thank you for the nice comments Steve, Dalibor, Bill, Gunnar and Chris!

@Steve: I might do what you are suggesting. Then it wouldn't be a mistake anymore. Six time cutting some silver paint and I have soldiers with "partisans"! Thank you!

Your painting style is real cool Peter. Classic figures a little bit tall,but i like them all.
Out of pure greedy nostalgia,i bought lots of the plastic Revell sprues loose on E Bay many years ago,well at least 11 years ago. BB

Excellent job, Peter.

[Kostis Ornerakis]

Wonderful work!!

[Peter]

Thank you Paul, Jaques and Kostis!

@Jaques: good to hear something from you. And you know why I'm saying this!

[MABO]

As Paul already said: I also like these classic Revell guys. I have a lot of them but nor yet painted... shame on me.

Lovely stuff Peter, thanks for sharing! This was my first ever set of figures.

[Peter]

Thanks Jan and Rich!

I have bought these all second hand. Now I have two or three compleet sets and a lot of unbased figures of them. And one damaged box. I'm thinking to sell one of the sets ut I have to surch them out;

Oldies but goldies…
Wonderful paintjob of this old "Revells"..
I'm glad you haven't forgotten how to paint the figures ...
Nice to see new works of yours.
By the way, I really like the colors and the groundwork.
