discussion What I done before... various Napoleonics.

[Windy]

Hi all. I've been posting on here a while now but realised I've only posted my new stuff. These were originally posted on Milmod so some of you may have seen them before. The first lot are 40mm wargaming figures from Perry Miniatures plus a couple of Old Glory. They depict fifteen of the twenty one Regiments of Foot that over the years have amalgamated and now form my regiment, The Rifles.

The first two are a Battalion Company officer of the 11th (North Devonshire) Regiment of Foot and a Light Company sergeant of the 39th (Dorsetshire).

Hi Windy, nice to see these again....still think they’re great...

 

[Guest]

Very nice :smiling3:.

 

[Windy]

Cheers chaps. Hard to believe I painted them nearly six years ago! Those two obviously became the Devon and Dorsets - the regiment I first joined. Though I still need to paint one for the 54th.

This next lot became the Light Infantry. Still to do are the 13th (Somerset) and 46th (South Devonshire).

[Tim Marlow]

Another great set, always like the Perry sculpts....

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Great to see these again.Even better second time around.
Jon.

 

[Windy]

Sorry Neil but there are more to come yet! :smiling5:

Ralph, glad you like them. They're fun to paint - big enough to have decent detail, small enough to hide a multitude of sins!

Nap, cheers mate! I might donate them to the Keep in Dorch one day.

Tim, they're great figures. I just wish they'd expand the range a bit more!

Jon, I really must finish the set. There are six regiments that I haven't done yet but two of them weren't raised until after the Napoleonic Wars. We'll have to see!

 

[Guest]

The detail paint work is mind blowing , very nice Alex .

 

[Windy]

Cheers Jon! I didn't get around to posting the rest of them last night and I've been out all day playing with muskets today so here they are now. This lot represent the RGBW - Royal Gloucester, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment. The Perry brothers sculpting is usually spot on but something went horribly wrong with the first chap's hands. Maybe he's from the Forest of Dean!

I love your work Alex. So beautifully done.

 

[Windy]

Thank you Peter. Coming from you that's praise indeed!

 

[Windy]

Morning all. It's been a busy few months and I haven't had any bench time since about April. So l painted this wee chap during the shite weather last week. Got me back into the groove again! Drummer 13th (Somerset) Regt of Foot circa 1812. The 13th had filemot yellow facings - dead leaf colour which doesn't really narrow it down! I went for a dark orange yellow which looks about right to my eye.

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see you manged to get back to the bench. The colours are spot on. Wonderful work Windy.

 

[Windy]

Thanks mate. It's good to be back in!

 

[Guest]

Rather superb!
