Title: Bren gun minis
Post by: Bodhi on April 01, 2007, 02:13:00 PM
I'm sculpting a bren gun. I have plenty of reference pictures for the real thing but I can't seem to find any pictures of 28 mm miniatures with bren guns which would be good to have as well since the real thing is quite complex, so I need hints on how to simplify. Does anybody have any tips?

FAR to short for one thing...

And I know Bungle but I've started on one anyway  ;)

Barrel was shortened to create an infantry support weapon.

It was too accurate.... the photo you have looks like an AA version.. with the longer barrel.

Did you get my e-mail?
