military miniatures- pics

[Ó Cathasaigh]

this last one is my medical staff which includes 2 wounded, 1 Ambulance Corpsman and 2 hospital stewards.

Tell me what you think, be sure to say something about historical accuracy.

feel free to post your own pics

Did you make those figures? If you did, nice craftmanship. Also nice pics in general, I especially liked the 1st one with most of the figures lying on the floor. It is cool!

[Ó Cathasaigh]

Well, I bought the figures, but I modded some of them (specificaly all the ones who apear to be dead or wounded.) I also painted them.

Hicks, nice job I used to do wargaming, so i have quite a collection of painted minatures, if i had a digital camera i would show you some of my models - I have quite a lot of Warhammer Stuff, but i managed to create something that could pass for a Holy Roman Empire army out of one list which was my main objective.

Here's some pics of my finished Werhmacht miniatures. I painted these about three or four years ago. This is only about 35-40% of my Wehrmacht miniatures, but I haven't completed the rest (and never will most likely).







The three Greek hoplites I've completed, early this year. I have about fifty more waiting to be painted (also probably never happening).


That's about it for historical military miniatures. The rest I have are either fantasy or scifi.

Sweet...

"Kick them thar blue bellies straight ta hell boys!!! Yeehah!!!"

Actually makes me think of the little green army dudes more than anything else, used to spend hours building battlefields for my collection when I was little...probably would again if I still had 'em...guess I'll have to wait until I've got a son so I can do it again without looking like a dork...man, that'll be fun...free to cruise Toy'R'Us to my hearts content without looking like a pervert on the prowl...kids ARE good for something afterall! :laughing:

Actually, I already use my nephew for that, he gets cool stuff for free, I get to pla...umm..."inspect" all the new Tonka's, GI Joes, and Legos...good deal all around, come to think of it...gotta go Christmas shopping soon...*runs off to check out Micro-Machines*.

@Grimsta- I have a small collection of LOTR High Elves and Numenorians from the same company that makes Warhammer.

Good quality to say the least.
@Polimides- Well done man, I've got a few Wermacht of my own, but I havn't got any pics for them. What size are they?
I've done the entire Warhammer sized ones, but I prefer 54mm or 1/35-32 scale.
@Wicked- I've still got a box full of those little green men. They are still good for a.....*tactical excersize* in warfare....

Here's another edition!

First off we have Some Revolutionary War guys.

From L-R: Hessian, Hessian, Colonial Regular, and either Minuteman/or possible French Infantryman, did the french use Green Jackets?

From L-R: British Grenedier, British Artillaryman, British Officer, Hessian, Hessian
Now for some Napoleonics

Here we have some British FootGaurds.

Knowtice the man on the far left has no hat, his hat was cut off and i used moddeling puddy, AKA green stuff, to create a nice head of hair.

The officer on the right was once a Confederate officer, but I used the hat to make him into an officer.

Hicks, i like the last ones the best :laughing:

[Ó Cathasaigh]

hehehe, you bloody brit!


Also, if anyone has a good source of uniform refrences, could you please share, even some Osprey scans would be nice.

[Libertine]

If you are just wanting uniforms for the American Civil War i cant help, but if you ever fancy painting some more Napoleonic stuff then i can certainly lend you a hand (i have been studying the 95th Rifles in the Peninsula since i was about 10 )

Edit: missed out the More up there ^^^

[Ó Cathasaigh]

What I realy need is Napoleonic, Revolution, Medieval/crusades.

Civil War is realy easy. basicaly just blue and sky blue for the yanks, and Grey/brown/other colors for the rebs

[Libertine]

What nations do you want for Napoleonic. Some nations have obvious schemes, British Line Infantry units wore red, with white pipe clay straps, while the 95th wore Dark Green, using a tall hat often used to support the gun, The Voltiguers of France wore Dark Blue with white pipe clay again, with the British always include a couple of colour sergeants with Halbards , but my main area of specialisation is the 95th. Oh, the French Dragoons wore Dark Green as well and The Russians also wore Green. The uniforms are all very similar, its the weapons that differentiated dramatically imho.

For Medieval and Crusades, it depends on the order, Caius, Shogo and Dragses1453 are all doing Crusader based mods, that would be the best place to look.

here is my next batch of pix!!!!
First we have the crusaders, free cookies to anyone who can name the order these soldiers belong to, HINT: there are three of them

more crusaders


and some unfinished yankees, who look rather cool in this pic

[Libertine]

Teutonic, Templar and Hospitallier??

[Hub'ite]

Hey! I used to have those crusaders when I was younger. Got them at KB Toys. Don't think they were made for painting though. They were really cheap. But great job on the others. I started some Romans and Gauls but never got around to finishing them.

[Ó Cathasaigh]

yeah the old crusaders are from KB toys..hehehe, you wouldn't happen to know where I could purchase some more crusaders and definatly some saracens???

EDIT: i owe you a cookie grimsta!

[Hub'ite]

This site has a ton of plastic figures. It's where I bought mine. I'm sure they have some crusaders. http://www.michtoy.com/
