From KentG: 40mm Napoleonic French & British cavalry (points 75)

 Had a new commission arrive on Friday, undercoated Saturday, 

painted it Sunday. I had so much fun painting these, 

and I used my time isolating from my wife who had covid. 

what better place to hide than my painting room

The figures are 40mm Perry Miniatures 

I was expecting 40mm to be exceptionally detailed and well made

and if they had been in 28mm the detail would have been amazing

but I had to use quite a bit of green stuff to fix where the horse and heads 

didn't fit properly.

Even with that I loved painting the figures and this 

Hussar was one of my favorites in the end

This chap was the one British Cavalry figure and the first time for me

 painting British Cav really like the way he came out

I struggled a bit with the blue of his uniform as I was missing a color 

I need to get the color right

French infantry officer, the sword on this guy was so thin and 

was scary to work with, I informed the customer that all the swords

were very thin and had been badly bent in transit to me.

This photo above is just such an iconic pose and I really like it

This hussars was another of my favorite figures

maybe it's because I enjoy painting the colorful uniform

Another Hussar, i suppose you just can't get enough of them can you

I forgot to add matt varnish to the rider before the photo

each figure will have two coats of gloss varnish two coats of matt

then a final coat of hand painted ultra matt varnish to finish

                    Points

    

                   5 x 40mm Cavalry 15pts each = 75pts

                                                              Total 75pts

From Millsy: These are just beautiful Kent and really showcase your ability at a larger scale. I suspect you enjoyed these a lot more than the 18mm stuff you've been doing of late. It's a shame you had to do some prep work in order to get them up to scratch although I suppose the larger minis merit that to get results of this quality. Cracking work mate!
