Quatre Bras Diorama update 3 nearly there.

Well Ive based them in polly filler and blackened the base. I finished the diorama last night and it's now off at a friends being photograghed. As his camera is really nice. I think there should be some great photos. (I hope)

french 15mm Infantry commision update 8

Well after a bit of down time with my back I've finally got back into these french again here are the latest 7 Battalions 126 figuress that i've just finished today.

AB 15mm British command figures Napoleonic

I sold my Napoleonic British army this week so i decided i better finish the command figures so sat down last night  and here's the result, a couple of the pictures arn't to great sorry.

This dudes umbrella keeps breaking off tried superfix might try drilling it and pining it tonight

10mm Russians take two

AJ suggested that I brighten the green so what I've done is keep the dark first colour then highlighted with a bright green then a 50/50 bright green and white mix

I think this stands out a bit more what do you think

Russian 10mm Napoleonics

This is my first attempt at painting 10mm man i don't know how you paint any smaller than this I've got hundreds of these to do

Even though it doesn't come out to well I tried to layer the paint

dark to light look good to the eye

Quatre Bras diorama stage 3

Well now it's time to start working out where I'm going to place the figures, or should i say a general idea I'm really happy with the way the figures have come up but now i realise i'll have to go shopping to find some new grasses.

 I just realised that i will need to get some help to get a great shot of these guys it's not as eassy when they are set out as i thought

As you can hopefully see the flags are finished

 might have to make sure that there is a defined corner to the

 front of the square looks abit rounded in theis picture

what do you think is there enough on the french side or should i add a few french dead?

10th Cuirassiers 15mm AB, Napoleonic, Quatre Bras Diorama stage 2

Well the british are done so it was on to the french, I still haven't decided whether to add a couple of dead french infantry or not, but here are the cuirassiers  which are going on the diorama they are from Eureka minatures AB range real nice figure nice detail and easy to paint. There was quite a bit of flash on the horses but i know from experience with these minatures that that's not normal.

I decided to cut the front legs of this horse

and bend them under so that it looked a bit like the horse had been shot hope it works

love the look of this guy he was fun to paint
