Gatling Gun

Not only is it 25mm it isn't even Napoleonic! What is going on?

This is an OG British Navy Gatling gun crew (Zulu War period) and is painted for the May game held in Ayton (Nr Scarborough). I usually get trounced by artillery and all things projectile based at these games so I'd thought to bring a little canned-heat with me this time. This year the rules are supposed to reduce the dominance of artillery but why take the chance? I have another Gatling gun to paint up and much, much more artillery. The figures are supposed to be Mexicans by the way - I couldn't find any references for them on the internet but assumed they'd be not too different from any other Navy.

    Nice work, Ken. Just saw the Hollywood version of these recently in a re-run of Last Samurai.
