Now for the small stuff, I have painted up these two battalions of rifles for my nine year old's growing Peninsular army. They are Baccus 6mm and needed very little clean up work.
First up the 60th Rifles who tend to get over shadowed by the 95th due to the Sharpe novels. Shame really as I think the red facings make them a better looking unit.
Talking of the 95th, here they are with a few more out front skirmishing the poor French. Each base has 24 figures making for a total of 24 point's as I make a move on my second side challenge.
Ahh, our 6mm specialist, excellent. These look marvelous, Ian. I can clearly visualize the mullets, hear the churning guitars of 'Over the Hills and Far Away' while I peer into the ranks of the 60th to see if I can spot Sweet William. ;)
Well done and 24 points for you!
Right on! 6mm Napoleonics, lovely stuff, and these are well done! Great work.
ReplyDeleteLittle small gems!
ReplyDeleteLovely work and you gain a 1 point lead over me to boot! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice unit, soo tiny and yet so finely detailed.
ReplyDeleteI'm constantly amazed how realistic these tiny guys look. Great job
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Ian. How many 6mm Naps have you painted for the Challenge now I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI'm constantly amazed how realistic these tiny guys look. Great job
ReplyDeleteNice work Ian!
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of movement the basing gives, as the skirmishers sweep ahead of the men in line. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteTiny wee dudes. nice one. cheers
ReplyDeleteYour 6mm always makes me want to do 6mm. Then I remember how much I curse 20mm sometimes and I come to my senses. Fantastic work Ian!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat. Every year I think I'll give 6mm a go... and then I See them in person and chicken out ;)
DeleteYou're work on 6mm is the best out there Ian. It's a real pleasure to see how good you can make this scale look.
ReplyDeleteGeez these are nice Ian. Love the bases and the look of the units with skirmishers forward.
ReplyDeleteexcellent work and good detail for such a small size.
ReplyDeleteGrand stuff..
ReplyDeleteAs always you've done a marvelous job. Your basing sets them in scene nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe "Joy of Six!"
ReplyDeleteTremendous! So tempted to order some from Baccus now!
Well done Ian!
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking battalions. The basing really does give them a little life of their own
ReplyDeleteThanks all, 6mm are not so hard to paint, it's all about what you paint and leave out. Tend to go one shade brighter though
ReplyDeleteIan
Nice work and its good to see the 60th origionaly the "Royal Americans" its always been one of my favorite British Regiments.
ReplyDeleteI love Napoleonics at this scale. Great work! (I did kind of smile at the mention of facing color differences--at this scale, who cares? :P)
ReplyDeleteThey look grea,Ian! 6mm is great for grand Napoleonic battles. I like the sense of formation and movement, and the skirmish screens!
ReplyDeleteReally nice. I like the basing with the skirmishers out front.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I like the basing as well!
