Just time to squeeze in one more, loosely themed Victorian post before we embark on all things undead and usher in ‘Zomtober 2016’. Perhaps not too surprisingly the heroic actions of Frederick Gustavus Burnaby Esq. have been reported here at ‘28mm Victorian Warfare’ before in both ‘Burnaby & Fiends’ (sic.) and ‘The Man, the Legend, the Title Banner!’
This latest incarnation comes courtesy of my good friend and fellow Blogger Stefan* who packaged up the illustrious Victorian hero and sent him over to dear old Blighty. I understand that he was a special edition miniature that accompanied 'Warlord Games' 'Blood on the Nile' Black Powder supplement, when purchased through the ‘Perry Miniatures’ site.
*A.K.A. Monty of the splendid ‘Monty’s Caravan’ blog.
Obviously I was thrilled to have this miniature to add to my collection, but somewhat embarrassed that it has taken me so long to get around to painting him, nonetheless thank you Stefan! Just for comparison I have photographed him with my other version and then it just seemed churlish not to invite some old friends along to the shoot!
Very nicely done, and I love that first image
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy, I seem to spend longer tinkering with the photographs than painting the miniatures these days.
DeleteTop work there Mr Awdry! Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rodger.

ReplyDeleteThank you Nimrod and thrilled to hear that they may have inspired you to paint something Victorian.
DeleteQuality paint-jobs on two quality castings, Sir Awdry. What a tip top gesture by Stefan too!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Simon, I was very fortunate to have received him, so the least I could do was to paint him up.
DeleteThe punch line of his joke had better be real funny! Nice job, Sir.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not he's certainly going to get the point!
DeleteLovely! I much prefer this version to the Warlord Games one (which is the one I have).
ReplyDeleteOf the two, this certainly my favourite too.
DeleteLovely sepia toned image to start the entry! More excellent brushwork & he will certainly be a thorn in the natives sides.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice sir.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger

DeleteI am sure Stefan will be very pleased with your painting of that rather spiffing figure
ReplyDeleteIan
I do hoe so Ian.
DeleteStefan is a good chap, no question. Love the scene you've assembled, though I fear our hero has the odds stacked against him, despite his spiffy paint job.
ReplyDeleteA Cracking addition to your collection - lovely job
ReplyDeleteWhat a jolly good chap Stefan is!
Great painting as always as well as an excellent composition in that first photograph :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous work your back in your element with this period!

ReplyDeleteVery nice paint job there sir.
ReplyDeleteWhat a top notch figure, superbly painted Sir.
ReplyDeleteWhat a top notch figure, superbly painted Sir.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you painted good ol' Burnaby in both incarnations. It's a wonderful piece for your collection and I'm glad to have been able to contribute the raw metal.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's the special miniatures the Perrys sell when ordering the book via their online shop.
Cheerio!
Stefan
