Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

[Neil Merryweather]

Just a quick update... Paging Tony @yakface ... Cesare has had his hair dyed


I can also report progress on the painting of Fusiliers 5 & 6- hopefully finished soon as I have a few days off work unexpectedly.
Thanks for looking
Neil

Very nice indeed. He looks very happy with his new “do” Neil. Love the mattress ticking trousers. Last time I did those was on 15mm zoaves. Nowhere near as fine as yours though.

[Neil Merryweather]

I am delighted to announce that Fusilier 5 is finally painted- wahoo!



He's been through a few iterations on the way, but I have to say I am much happier with him, especially now he's painted-I just have to matt down his pack, which is still shiny from the ink.
Many thanks for watching
Neil

Your skills with figures always amaze me, Neil. Oh, I'm not suggesting you're an accountant, although you might be great with numbers as well?

Glad you like him Tim. I've learned a lot from you about this bloody paintings lark!

Thanks Colin, but sadly it's just figures. If I was better with numbers I would be properly retired by now. And thanks

[Neil Merryweather]

Damn, I somehow lost the first half of my thank yous!
I didn't get to the forum all day yesterday so it was fantastic finding all those great comments.

Really impressive stuff Neil. Quite stunning.

John.

Thanks John. I had such a long time away from it I was worried I had forgotten how to do it. Luckily I had made some notes.

Lovely work

Thanks Mick

Superb work neil , the sense of movement is fantastic , cheers tony

Thanks Tony that's a great compliment. This one was a struggle but I got there in the end. I've just realised that I am inspired by the War Picture Library style of illustration

Missed this - it's fantastic! The pose is just perfect, incredibly lifelike, and full of movement. And the painting! Just so assured - I love it.
