Well, it wouldn't be a proper Painting Challenge with one of my Donnybrook entries now would it?
So just to keep you all happy.....here's one!!!
My green coated Polish Dragoons were prepped and undercoated at the start of Challenge 12 in 2021!!!
Isn't that bad that its taken me until now to put some paint on them?
My 9 Polish Dragoons, painted up for my Donnybrook Allied Army for the Relief of Vienna in 1683.
Check out my last post from March 2022, where I painted some Polish Command figures.
The figures are from Reiver Castings and were a joy to paint.
I'll be using the chap in the centre holding his pistol in the air.
There 9 figures will give me 90 points.
Then we also have the dismounted version of the Dragoons.
Unfortunately at the time Reiver didn't have a dismounted Dragoon figure, (not sure if they ever did)
So I had to fall back to my old favourites, Essex Miniatures.
A you can see, my leader is wearing a clock on the dismounted version and not on the mounted version.
I could have sculpted a cloak on the mounted version, but couldn't be arsed!
And here they are all together, the 45 points for the foot figures will be added to the 90 points for the mounted giving me a total of 135 points!!
From DaveD - I wondered when the Donnybrook would kick in properly . They do look fine figures and a grand paint job Ray .135 it is . The only thing left for you to do now is sandbags isn’t it 😆
Great looking stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim.
DeleteThey look great Ray. I was wondering when you’d use the D word….
ReplyDeleteMost probably my only D unit this Challenge.
DeleteGreat job on these
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin.
DeleteFabulous Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce.
DeleteIt wouldn't seem like a proper Challenge without you doing a Donnybrook submission. Lovely brushwork Ray!
ReplyDeleteThis unit has been hanging around for so long I just had to do it.
DeleteExcellent Ray, those really pop, great colour choice
ReplyDeleteCheers Kerry!
DeleteFabulous work Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt.
DeleteLove those dragoons. Very dashing.
ReplyDeleteCheers Adam.
DeleteWonderful Donnybrook unit. Even without the cloak. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha.
DeleteGood to see some of the "primed and prepared" reserves stepping off the painting table - for "Donnybrook" no less!
ReplyDeleteI know, good eh?
DeleteExcellent Ray, I thoroughly approve mounted and dismounted versions of what are the often forgotten troops in armies- suitably painted to carry out solid everyday duties
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!!
DeleteRiley and Jonesy would approve. "You lookin for a tilly buddy? YOU LOOKIN TO HAVE A DONNYBROOK???" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI2GVcjXXI8
ReplyDeleteHaha, never heard of that programme before.
DeleteAn awesome unit Ray, love to see the dismounted figures too!
