Here's an artillery piece for the horse artillery, a nice metal Perry model, all primed based and painted as one.
Lovely figures that have come up well. Lurking in the background are some Perry plastic French line, who as they are in the process of being painted I thought I'd show you how they are done after the last posts comments.
As you can see they're part way through the process and almost usable! To save a bit more time the bases are coloured with some dilute stain and varnish in a tub and the base dipped in ot enough to come up to their boots and then removed. The commander and the honour guard's halberd heads and brace of pistols are Victrix and the eagle and ribbons are warlord
Four more figures to the total, 264, every little helps!
All the best
Iain
Fantastic work sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!

Man that’s some production line you’ve got going there!
ReplyDeleteI've actually got another infantry regiment and a cavalry unit on the go at the same time, I just find it easier to use up bits of paint and push things along as efficiently as possible ( doesn't really sound like a hobby does it!)
DeleteBest Iain
That is a fine looking gun and crew. You are correct in that every little bit helps. Keep cranking on!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Jonathan!

Looks very dynamic. Very nice painting, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Fitz!

Great work as usual Iain. This is turning into a substantial force.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, adding up, still got eight French line regiments to paint!

Cannon and crew look great Iain, really nice. Your production line process works really well and taking shape very nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, trying to be efficient!
DeleteBest Iain
The gun and crew look great!
ReplyDeleteFrench infantry coming along just fine!
A bit of progress! Thanks Tim!
DeleteBest Iain
Awesome gun and crew! Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Joe!

The artillery piece looks Excellent Iain, and that is some serious batch painting, and probably why I look at smaller skirmish forces ! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, I like painting in large amounts, which is lucky!
DeleteBest Iain
Terrific work, Iain. Big fan of your Napoleonic collection, and the cannon crew look like an excellent addition. Great work on the French Line infantry too. Probably take me a year to paint that unit up. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, yes I like to chuck the kitchen sink at it!

Love your work Iain.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Richard!

Nice work Iain. Interesting to see the WIP. The models are fabulous.

Thanks Chris, the models are nice!

Great looking artillery, Iain. I like the look of the French infantry in advancing poses.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, yes I fancied the advancing pose for a change?
DeleteBest Iain
A nice little update there Iain. To my eternal shame and damnation, I just can't get into Napoleonics;)!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, I think you have to commit a lot of time if you want to do the period properly and we all have a finite amount!
DeleteBest Iain
Superb looking artillery piece and crew Iain and interesting to see other people's painting techniques!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, yes I always like to see other people's techniques!

I can't get over how many figures you can turn out at such a quality Iain. I do like the 'in action' look for figures rather than full dress (although that loooks so much fancier). I have a French line and guard foot artillery in progress so yours are a nice inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been painting for a while but I do like to work on quite a lot at the same time!
DeleteBest Iain
Superb artillery, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
DeleteBest Iain
lovely figures and painting well done Sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks, very kind of you Phil!
DeleteBest Iain
They look truly splendid. The artillery piece looks fantastic
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Suber!

Nice looking artillery, and a neat little trick to wash the bases of the models all at once.
ReplyDeleteThanks SD, I thought it was worth sharing?
