I Started these yesterday and finished them tonight they are
the first of two lots of Spanish dragoons.

both are yellow this one with red lapels then next has black then i will do the heavy cav which is blue with yellow lapels.

I might do a highlight on the red just to lift the colour a bit before these guys are sent.

It's nice to be painting after a two week break.

New base for diorama

Had to use contact adhiesive to get this to stay put the to diorama had a little warp in it and it took a bit to get it to glue flat but i'm really happy with the result.

Thinking i might need to get a wee brass plaque made with the battle name and date on it to really finish it off might even find a glass top.

Eureka minatures spotlight 28mm french Revolutionary wars Battalion

I've been working on these fellas off and on for the past month when i had a bit of time between commissions but decided the other day that i'd like to get them finished for a painting compition in a few weeks time.

These figures were  supplied by Eureka minatures they are part of wars of the french revolution, range of figures what i like about these figures is there bayonets won't break at the slightest bump which my british victrix seem to this link will take you to wars of the french revolution. They are very well sculpted and I enjoyed painting them very much and am now trying to work out how i can purchase some more.

28mm french 1805 progress

I've been busy with commission jobs and haven't had a lot of time for fun even though  i said i would stay away from the brushes for a week, well I slipped and picked up the brush for just a while today and decided to work on my 28mm french revoluntionary wars figures that Eureka minatures supplied for my highlight so here's a couple of pics lots still to do. They are so nice to paint.

I've put the first coat of white on these figures if you don't put it on to heavy you can place a second coat leaving areas of the first white coat which helps give a depth, that is on top of leaving areas of the grey as well.

still a wee way to go but i thought he look nice enough for his own pic.
