"New Types of 54mm Artillery Figues" Topic

This is an idea, nothing more. I would like to see someone design and market 54mm ACW, WAI, French and Indian War artillery crews showing the gun crews with the gunner tapping the trail to change the direction of fire, Numbers 3 and 4 working the habndspike to move the gun. Men wheeling the gun into battery by hand… In other words, portraying the cres in action and not the standard static poses. If a company has already doen this and the figures are on the market, pleses, let me know.

I would love to see this as well. Part of the apeal of 54mm for me are the quality action poses.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but I like the Imex AWI arty crews.

If you are talking metal figures the old Bussler range had those; yanking the lanyard, ramming home,loading the muzzle, levering the handspikes, pushing the wheels,running with ammo, the mortar even had crew carrying a shell between them.I know where they can still be had.

I agree this is a need. I've mentioned it to some of the figure mfgs. You never know. You can find more appropriate poses in the metal miniature lines (Britains, etc.) in 54mm.

I don't have any good close ups, but you can see some of my attempts to create more accurately posed 3 man gun crews here.
