From KentG: 28mm Napoleonic cavalry and 40mm musketeers (261pts)

 Here we are again this week has been a busy one
I did two 11 hour days along with painting every other night 3-4 hours
most of the time was spent on doing fine details on the two regiments
 of cavalry, which I must admit I am very very happy with

These fellas are 28mm Perry Miniatures painted as 

Polish guard lancers, the Pennants once again are from 

the free download that you can get from Piano wargames

then painted in the correct colors, it sure does make life a little easier

I tried to use a three different ways of using white on these guys

brown base on plumes and lace, blue base fore the gloves and on the

 belt actually used white as the final layer

had fun painting the leopard skin on the commander

I wasn't sure if I was going to do the fiddly work on the 

saddle blankets but was then how can I not after spending 

so much time on the rest

These fine young gentlemen are 

1st Reg French Chasseur's a Cheval

I started painting these and another 76 cavalry on day one

I have just 12 cavalry to go and I will need to undercoat some more so 

I better get gluing figures

it was so much fun painting the cords around the trumpet

and the lace work on the guy, when it all came together

I'm sure I had a wee grin on my face

Lastly I manage to complete 3 more 40mm figures from the 

Musketeers set I have, just two more figures to start then the 

tables and chairs and stuff and that's all completed

They really are fun figures if not a little clumsy being sold metals

and seem to tip over unless secured to the base

I might end up putting magnets in them.

There’s a couple of pictures of the Napoleonic French cavalry 

That I’ve painted in this challenge. 66 cavalry figures so far.

From Millsy: You've pushed all my Napoleonic buttons with this post Kent. French? Check! Cavalry? Check! Lancers? Check! Absolutely beautiful work as always mate, especially the Poles who are one of my favourite units of the period. Congrats on producing such a wonderful collection of troops. Please tell me you won't just sell them all now!

From KentG: 28mm ACW Confederate limber, pirates, peasants, science fiction romance, gift shop and Sarah's cart (points 216)

 Well surprise surprise another week has sped bye, as I write this.

It is the first of Feb and I almost wonder, is time passing fast simple because of the amount of painting we are doing?, as if we are turning the hands of time with each brush stroke in this post we have a few different figures which I really  enjoyed painting.

We start with a 28mm six horse Perry Miniatures Confederate the gun and Limber plus 3 figures by the gun are from their plastic artillery set the rest are metal. 

After doing the 6 horse limber for the union I was mad enough to decide lets make this one longer and add an artillery piece.

I don't know how often I say it but I do love painting Perry Minis.

Next up we have 4 figures from a peasant set 3D printed by Wargames Atlantic I'm entering these into romance section of the Library and Sarah's cart the Lady with the can of food is for Sarah's cart the rest are part of a love triangle but the green eye of envy has hit.

You cheeky wench you try and use food to steal my man from me well I won't have it, if I can't you you nobody will. I'll blow you and this piece of skirt into the next life Bang bang.

Now with the use of Sarah's cart I'll do the science fiction entry into the library.

We have a lone figure from the doctor who world 28mm Cyberman

We have another couple of pirates from Irregular Miniatures I hope to get a bunch more done before the end of the comp. I really enjoy these so full of character.

Lastly we have the first 3 x 40mm figures these will be entered into the  library under gift shop. They were a gift to me and once painted they will be an unexpected gift back.

There is almost the full set of these by Eureka Miniatures these are a real nostalgia moment, many years ago Eureka miniatures sent me one to paint and display, so when a friend gave these to me just before the comp I was like, I know these and was quite excited. It comes with tables and chairs and animals so should be very cool when they are all done.

From Millsy: What a weird and wonderful collection of stuff you've presented us with here Kent. It's great to see the Cyberman at last following our chats, and the limber is beautifully done BUT the pick for me is the WA peasants. They're both very well painted and the story you constructed around them actually made me laugh out loud.
