Second entry to Analogue Painting challenge French 28mm Cuirassiers

French cuirassiers, this time i went for 28mm cav 12 Perry and 12 Front Rank heavy French cavalry it took me 23-25 hours to paint these, i don't think the wife is to impressed with me at this stage can you imagine what it is like a week later and in 2.5 months. As you can see there is not extra grasses on the bases as i am skint after paying of a new kitchen that ran over budget, i'm just hoping i don't run out of static grass.

This is the first time that i have painted 24 cav in a week, i don't think it will be my last.there is a lot of cavalry in the pile of figures that i am attempting to complete by the end of this challenge

Merry christmas

To all those  that have followed my blog over the year i wish you a very merry Christmas and happy new year hope you have a grt day with family and friends

My first entry into the Analogue Painting Challenge

 I managed to scrape these together on the first day of the challenge something to get me on the board, I've been painting most nights since and have racked up 23 hours of painting this week, which has allowed me to do something i have been unable to achieve before, but you will have to wait till it has been shown on curts blog, still need some basing but should be almost complete tomorrow, today i started the next batch of figures so it all go but all top secret here

 these half tracks are part of a batch of old fow miniatures that i decided to repaint to fit into my new army

 you can see some damage on the rear half track i think i might paint some battle damage in there

28mm modern infantry mix

These will be the last figures painted before i start the Analogue Painting competition they had been half finished for quite a while so thought i should complete them just to get me painting again as i haven't been painting much lately, that will soon change as of tomorrow.

Hi everyone first of sorry that i haven't posted much lately life has been crazy mad and something had to give sadly its been my painting and gaming. But i have decided to enter the analogue painting competition to try and get me going again. I sat down tonight and started to look at what i might paint, there is a lot of cavalry in bags that need my attention so i think ill start with 5 bags of cav and about 50 acw infantry see how long that takes.

I really enjoyed painting these once i worked out my colours, it's a 1000pt are deal

sorry the pics arn 't better

the wee mountian gun is my favourite

last French finished for the Leipzig game

 here's a few pictures of the last two units that were needing to be finished for the big game in a couple of weeks also need to add a few flags so now i'm all done

 these Cav below have already sold 

I'm hoping that i won't have to bring home a few of the units  that i am taking up to Wellington.

 I'm thinking of  selling these boys as well
