The Royal Navy garrison at Halifax has just received additional personnel. Completed a few days ago, six more gunners in sennet hats, a rating with a telescope, and another with a cutlass but now adjusted to carry a naval ensign. I had hoped to keep the paintwork on these figures, which was quite nice. Unfortunately the shade of blue was distinct, and I really wanted to have the entire naval contingent in the same dark navy-blue.
In addition to the blue, my white naval gun crew have gained an officer, with repaired telescope.
(Figures furnished by Paul Watson.)

Looking wonderful Mike
ReplyDeleteThanks George, lots of projects still to complete and upload, including several involving your good self, lol.

I look forward to seeing them. When this "bloody war is over" I look forward to joining you for a game or two. It has been far too long.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely, George. Making real progress with the collection here. But they need to be used!
DeleteMichael
Great to see the guns and gun emplacements done - looking very smart, along with the Navy!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mark, Admiral Watson's Naval division is a real power on the land, but I do need a ship or two lol.
DeleteMichael
I like those gun emplacements! The guns are too small for the Citadel or York Redoubt, must be point defense on George's Island in the middle of the harbour.
ReplyDeleteRoss, I do have a converted 4.7 naval gun, which is operated by seven white uniformed naval figures, that should help. But to be honest, there really isn't any threat to Halifax in the campaign, its more likely the Empire will take Maine, or something else on the eastern seaboard...... but Montreal is threatened.

Great figures and scenery MGB - I like the contrast of the "Modern" building alongside the old. Chaps with telescopes always say nautical!
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT, that plastic building came in a box with farm animals, costing £4 in a charity shop. I was just lucky to visit that day! I think the rating with the telescope is an old Timpo, or reproduction.

They look fan-tas-tic. Well done, Sir :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, Admiral Watson's Naval force is having a massive effect on the Dominion campaign, the Americans may have taken Ottawa but may lose the state of Maine. Yes, the naval figures have become a collection in their own right.
DeleteMichael
Well Garrisoned indeed! No one would attack, would they?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, the Empire is threatening the entire East Coast of the USA, so they cannot even aid Maine. While their regular troops are mainly in Ontario, threatening Montreal and Toronto.
