'Water Feature' from RayR: Napoleonic Landing Party



Its Bonus Round time once again. This week the theme is "Water Feature"
I was going to paint up a Native American canoe or a few empty 15mm boats, I mentioned it
to Postie. who had a lightbulb moment.
Hence the boats...




I gave him these two British Napoleonic Landing boats a few years ago, I think
 I bought them on ebay??




So I'm unsure of who makes them?
They could be AB???




There are 19 x 15mm figures
1 x small gun
and of course the 2 boats




They're based on stiff card, that I stuck a few lolly pop sticks to, to stiffen the base
up even more. Then they're coated in pollyfilla, to create the wave effect.
Hopefully they won't warp?




I thought they'd be easy to paint gluing the figures in place on the boats first.




Oh how wrong I was!!!!




It took me double the time to paint these as it should.




But I'm pretty pleased with the results.




So that should be
38 for the figures
2 for the gun, its not that big really...........Oi, none of that either!!
16 for the boats
50 bonus points
106 in total???
