Must be nice painting figures you don't have to peer through a magnifying glass at! Mind you at least I'm spared the pain of head swops etc. Kudos to you Mr Cooney.

Lovely work.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-23677979409244407062017-11-10T12:37:15.098+00:002017-11-10T12:37:15.098+00:00Indeed, a neat looking unit.

I've got about 70 fusiliers on the bottletops at present - I've broken that into two lots, the first of which might be ready for basing today or tomorrow. There is then a mixed batch of 30 voltigeurs and grenadiers (the grenadiers are Alberken, but a decent match for the DKs) and then I have to get together command figures for 5 battalions. I have some nice Art Miniaturen mounted colonels (though I have still to check they look OK for size with the DKs - if they're a bit big I'll use SHQ colonels) and the rest of the command will be Hinton Hunt or (possibly converted) SHQ - or whatever else I can find!<br /><br />I also have to face the challenge of printing some decent flags on my new printer - hmmm.<br /><br />When I've got this first batch ready for basing, I'll maybe do a quick photo. The idea is for "effective en masse", so they are not going to win any painting competitions. Never mind the quality, feel the width...MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-49241639438583834512017-11-10T10:59:39.628+00:002017-11-10T10:59:39.628+00:00A splendid looking unit Steve with clever conversi...A splendid looking unit Steve with clever conversions!<br /><br />Tony - will you be posting any work in progress pics of the French?Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.com
