French battalion number 2 completed. Very pleased with the result. Again brighter dabs of colour really bring these tiny figures out, I highlighted the officers horse far more than I would say a 28mm horse for example, but it seems to work.
Made up a couple of tree bases, very enjoyable in his scale. They are just clump foilage glued to cut down cocktail sticks, bases treated and the foilage given a quick highlight. The bases are infact old pennies! I have piles of them, Victorian and Edwardian, they are bigger and thinner than current 2p coins so are ideal for a group of 3 trees.
British Heavy dragoons undercoated and ready for paint, again I reckon a 1.5 hour session will finish them. I think I'll go for 2 ranks of 8 troopers with the officer in front with his trumpeter, but I'll play a round to find the best composition.
It's all looking really good Lee!
ReplyDeleteLooking really good Lee! Why can't 20mm figures be so quick to paint up?
ReplyDeleteThank Ian, I think I may have finally found what I've been looking for in this hobby!
ReplyDeleteSteve, I can understand what you mean, but at least you already have a good number of figures painted up.
Cheers,
Lee.
