These fellows below are the crew proper, with the left and central figure being generic to the various Royal
Moe, Larry, Curly. |
The two rifle figures included, ostensibly to protect the gun and its crew, are a bit further behind - the rifles themselves need to finished, uniforms touched up, bases need additional coats of green, and then the same finishing as above.
Two stalwart soldiers taking aim at foe (off-camera). |
As I mentioned, I have two such sets. The second gun is to serve the Russians, so the crew is unemployed. However, they are not down on their luck. With the exception of the ammo carrier, I think the figures can be repurposed into character figures with a different paint job (explorers, big game hunters, eccentric officers, etc.) or the riflemen could be painted like the two above, and grouped into a 4-figure unit for the Portable Wargame or similar.
The extra ammo carrier will have one of the magazines cut from his hands, to be glued onto one of the guns, because one of the guns did not include the magazine that mounts on the gun itself.
