Space 1889 British Infantry

These are original metal Space 1889 British Infantry models.

These were painted in the 1990s. I was quite pleased how I painted these and how they turned out.

I bought these as the boxed Soldiers of the Queen set from GDW. The box was released in 1989.

There are four metal models from this range on the workbench. I gave the models a white undercoat. Here is one of the models, an officer with a pistol.

I have been looking at a few online forums for guides on how to paint these. Going for a relatively simple and quick paint job, probably basecoat, webbing and other details, followed by a wash before final detailing.

I will give the models a base coat of khaki next.

1914 British Infantry

I have four metal models from this range that I bought some time ago, not sure if that was the only ones I bought or if I have merely mislaid and lost the others…. I thought I had ten, but there are only four.

I gave the models a white undercoat. Here is one of the models, an infantryman advancing.

I will give the models a base coat of khaki next.

I have been thinking about how I might use the models once I have finished painting them. I did think they would work well in a Victorian Science Fiction Scenario alongside my Steam Tank.

Another idea was to use them in a Doctor Who scenario fighting the Robot Mummies or the Cybermen. They are almost the right era for the Robot Mummies and would make for an interesting pre-UNIT or even Torchwood scenario.
