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.
Points
12 x 28mm Polish Cavalry 120 Pts
12 x 28mm French Cavalry 120 Pts
3 x 40mm foot 21pts
For a grand total of 261pts
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!
Love the lancers, fantastic painting
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin, they are my favorite unit so far.
DeleteWell done Kent, superb painting as we've come to expect - Polish lancers are one of, if not the most iconic Napoleonic units and these are ace
ReplyDeleteCheers my friend, in over 40 yrs of collecting this is my very first time painting them, but it won't be my last I think I'll buy them again and do the Dutch ones now.
DeleteGreat painting ... love the classic Napoleonic's!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jez, I've always loved Naps, just the variety of uniforms and colors
DeleteExcellent brush work Kent. Great work on all and the lancers are fab.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Bruce
DeleteThe Musketeers are great. The horse are fabulous and really show all the effort you put into them.
ReplyDeleteCheers Tom, I had to fix a few broken tails on the horses so I was really happy that they all came together so well.
DeleteThat's a wonderful collection of Cavalry, love the lancers especially but also the workhorse chasseurs. I too like doing the details like bugle cords and lace.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, I was really happy with how the Chasseurs came out. I also have a box of the Perry Chasseurs somewhere in the cupboard.
DeleteYour cavalry looks very impressive en masse like that!
ReplyDeleteCheers, I love painting cavalry and thought Id get them out see what I had painted so far
DeleteReally nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dallas
DeleteGorgeous cavalry Kent. Love 'em. Those musketeers are top shelf stuff as well. Lovely painting as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Curt, I really had a lot of fun painting these, the 40mm are something different for me, but funny enough a customer has just sent me some to paint.
DeleteAwesome Krnt. While the Napleonics are very good, the Musketeers steelmthe show for me!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sanders, they are rather cool, just two more to paint and all the extra bits and they will be compete
DeleteLovely work. I think you need a more realistic target...
ReplyDeleteyou are probably right I'll email Curt to see if I can raise it.
DeleteVery very nice Kent! Really like your versions of white. Great attention to detail on that one colour, it works really well!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the comment, I was sitting there thinking now how can I make the different whites stand out.
DeleteSuperb work on those lancers Kent
ReplyDeleteThanks Blue
DeleteLovely work. I love the basing on the nappies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, I need to order some more flowers gone through quite a lot in the comp so far.
