Here are the Elven cavalry for James' 'For Joshua' project, 10mm Pendraken figures and lovely castings. I must admit that I struggled a bit with these to begin with, but once I got stuck into them I enjoyed doing them. In order to lift the blue horse cloths I ordered a bottle of Vallejo Blue ink wash and it immediately lifted them and boosted my enthusiasm. Still considering a final highlight of light blue and then of course the varnish. Should be ready for the post tomorrow along with the rest of the Elves and Goblins. I would still like to add some kind of artillery/war machines, but I'll get this lot off so that James can base them.
Also finished are 8 x 20mm Les Higgins Grenadiers for Old John, again wonderful castings and a pleasure to paint. Next I have a mounted General, some Polish cavalry and a couple of Death's Head Hussars in those gorgeous yellow uniforms.
Aside from this I'm focusing on my 6mm WSS project.
Great work with the Higgins castings Lee which I think are tricky to paint!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ian. The LH figures are a little 'flat' on the detail such as belts etc which are hard to see, but they do paint up nicely.
DeleteThose elves look amazing Lee, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure James. Should have them varnished today and ready to go, I'll leave them on the painting strips for ease of packing, just a little PVA holding them on so will be easy to remove for basing.
DeleteI'd agree with James - that blue on the horse cloths is lovely..
DeleteGreat looking Elves and Grenadiers!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work with those Elves, and love the grenadiers you've done for me, superb painting
ReplyDeletecheers Old John
The Grenadiers have turned out very well I think, more subtle shading than the photo's show to the red coats and blue :) Cheers John.
DeleteLes Higgins WSS easier to paint than most Napoleonics:))
ReplyDeletecheers Old John
Certainly are John, no complicated lacework.
DeleteSuper looking and varied troops, lovely colourful finish!
