discussion A couple more Napoleonic figures - a bit bigger this time!

[Windy]

Hi all. Here are a couple more of my figures that were lost in the sinking of Milmod. The first is a 75mm Colour Sergeant of the Grenadier Company 28th Foot from FeR Miniatures. I made a couple of alterations from the original, mostly to correct inaccuracies. This involved removing extra lace loops on the cuffs, the inner row of lace on the wings, and adding a rear pocket flap. I also converted his knapsack into a French calfskin one.

He still needs a proper wooden plinth but I havent got around to finding one yet!

The next is a 54mm Sergeant of the 5th/60th Rifles from Chronos I think. I gave him a tache to make him look a bit more German but that's it.

Cheers guys! I'm looking for inspiration myself Peter - I haven't painted a figure since last November!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice to see these again as well. Great stuff, very atmospheric. Get back on the horse Alex, we need to see some new work

 

[Windy]

Thanks Tim. Speaking of horses I might try a mounted figure. You may well have given me the inspiration I was looking for! Time to start browsing. :thinking:

Thanks Richard and Jon. They turned out ok in the end! Both of them sat staring at me from my work bench for months before I even picked up a paintbrush. Now I have the itch to do a mounted figure but I can't find a decent one. There was one I saw a year or so ago that I really liked of a King's German Legion dragoon, but it seems to be out of production. Anyone got any recommendations?

 

[Steve Jones]

Glad you have gotten back into the groove with the figures Windy. A couple of little beautieeees. Look forward to seeing some more mate

 

[Windy]

Cheers Steve! Glad you like 'em. I'm away on Salisbury Plain for the next couple of weeks and the signal here is woeful! It makes searching for a new project a wee bit tricky but I'll see what I can find and will hopefully be back at my bench soon.
