It has been a while since my last post caused by general stuff plus difficulty with the old eyes again. Hopefully tomorrows laser surgery will fix the worst of that problem.
Continuing on with shiny Napoleonic's I give your more Tradition of London 25mm figures in the form of the Grenadiers of the French Imperial Guard.
These fellows were undercoated in black and with their delicate detail were the devil to paint. I will be using alternative colour undercoats in the future I think; but as the next batch are Brunswickers I will persevere a little longer with the black.
My old Merit trees have had a bit of a refurbishment following Aly Morrison's recipe found here.
Best wishes in surgery!
ReplyDeleteThanks (cannot say I am looking forward to it!).
DeleteGood luck with the surgery! Both my mum and monster in law have been lay-zorrred and it worked. Of course, I couldn’t help telling the MiL it was the same one Goldfinger used…
ReplyDeleteA fine return there Matt. Hope the surgery does the trick.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil - so far so good. Sore but infinitely better.
DeleteGreat old skool figures Matt. Nice brushwork!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Matt
Best wishes
Matthew
Glad you like them!
DeleteClassic looking toy soldiers Matt…
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you found my tree renovation a help….
I don’t think eye surgery is something anyone really looks forward to… hopefully you will see a different soon…
All the best. Aly
Thankfully the surgery has been very successful - its like watching an HD TV for the first time!
DeleteThese figures are such lovely sculpts - I had no idea. A great paint job and such lovely gloss too!
ReplyDeleteThe gloss certainly adds to the charm!
