Royal Marines

I had a little mishap with the digital camera and although it only bounced once it didn’t really want to work anymore after hitting the floor. Mrs S was surprisingly understanding (it’s her camera) and returned from a trip to the shop we bought it from with a newer better model – apparently we had a two year guarantee and she somehow managed to convince them to replace it.

This is one of my first shots with the new camera (the wrist strap was firmly attached throughout) and I haven’t quite got the hang of the settings yet, hence it’s just a tad blurry. The subject matter is the results of my painting over the last week namely a company of Royal Marines. The figures are vintage Hinton Hunt castings of:

1 x BN111 Marine Officer (charging)
5 x BN115 Marine (firing)

You may remember that I already have 6 other Marines and a Company of Seamen that I painted some time ago. They were done before I decided to go for 24 figure infantry units in my army which left me 6 figures short. My Christmas figure haul included some Clayton Seamen castings and this prompted me to get the rest of these lads painted up. The finished “Naval Battalion” will therefore be made up of 12 Marines and 12 Seamen.
