Even More British Artillery c.1815

After a good start on the painting front April tailed off a lot and so I am rather pleased to be able to get one more post in.


 More British Waterloo artillery, this time from "House of Campaign". The number of poses is a lot less than the Revell plastics but they look the part.

I have six more guns and crews to finish off and before I  move on to the French, starting with the Italeri French Guard Horse Artillery.

11th Light Dragoon 1815





I have been able to finish one more Hinton Hunt figure, the first of the British 11th Light Dragoons. The remaining five are well on their way now and I should have the full set finished by the end of the week. Or so it says on "The Plan".

Chaaaarge!
I have also been busy with more plastic British artillery for the Waterloo diorama which should be my next post.

Skirmish Line Complete

The 95th are done and the 11th Light Dragoons are started, quite a productive weekend, huzzah!
Pity the Frenchmen who try and take on these chosen men.
Hopefully the horsemen will be finished very soon as I am clearly on a bit of a roll here.

Hinton Hunt British Rifles

Since Ian and Roy decided upon their Waterloo re-fight later this year packets of unpainted Hinton Hunt figures have been flying around the globe. These chaps made it as far as Essex!

A Sharpe looking unit I trust you will agree?

 I have a half dozen more to finish tomorrow before moving on to the British cavalry and a "mystery figure" that will be unveiled on Ian's blog - probably next week. More pictures before the Easter weekend is over.

Second Box of Soldiers Complete!

The second box of Revell British artillery is finished and packed off heading for the Battle of Waterloo diorama. I am now working on some rather lovely Hinton Hunt British for Ian and Roy's Battle of Waterloo re-fight later this year.


I plan to get some of my own ACW and Colonial figures painted up before I return to more plastic artillery for the diorama.


Hopefully the Bank Holiday weekend will produce some more pictures.
