Some time ago I was lucky enough to be asked by Dave to base up some of the figures he had had painted for him by the late Jim Bowen … a painter of great work in the hobby and a good friend from my home town ...as I had the figures I also decided to photograph lots of the stuff I had based and so here are some of those phots to make sure we never forget Jim's beautiful work.
First of all below are his Napoleonics including lots of the then new French Guard figures and some beautiful command groups.
Here we have some of the lovely Sudan figures ...which have a place of pride in Dave's collection as one of his favourite periods...we have most of the Allied forces including Camel Corps and the Highlanders.
Next we see a gorgeous collection of Classical Greek forces and Allies including Spartans ,Athenians ,Thebans & Cretan archers.
Up next are the Medievals form Dave's collection and these include firstly the War of the Roses ,The Hundred Years War & The First Crusade.
As we near the end of our little gallery we have some beautiful AWI southern theatre Americans n line of advance and firing line.
Finally these fabulous Assyrians from the Foundry collection. This is only a small proportion of the figures painted by Jim that Dave owns and hopefully at some time I will be able to visit Dave and take loads more pictures of more lovely figures.
Great collection!
