Here are some more Hezzlewood figures I animated and painted few years back for a collector. Interestingly he started a blog and passed them of as his own work. Well, he never signed a Prenuptial Agreement. Anyway, his interest was short lived and he actually gave all the figures back!

| Classic 20mm Hezzlewood figures still available in the US from DPC as the RSM/95 range. |
Here are the hussars. I am changing the bases to suit Black Powder rules and to get rid of the sand colour. Never did like that finish. I need to build up the numbers for the unit and as the range does not include Elite Company figures I need to start making some busbies.
I have managed to add some British command bases and start to rebase the matching French.
However my favourite work to date is a British Infantry battalion which I have nearly finished basing again. That will be my next post.
Then it is back to the Tumbling Dice WW1.
Love these! It's almost enough to make me rekindle a long dormant interest in (late) Napoleonics, but do it right this time and use those 20mm RSM95 figures.

Clearly a man who recognises style! I must admit to being tempted by the 25mm Tricornes from RSM too-Hezzlewood was a master of the "proportional" figure. No big heads or massive paws.
DeleteThat's weird about that guy blogging that he had painted them! Of course, as you know I have painted all my Hinton Hunt figures by myself!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat paint job...
He was a bit of a character! Anyway, he paid for them, then gave the painted ones back and I got to keep the lead pile too!
DeleteI had always resisted painting and collecting Napoleonic armies...and then I saw te 20mm RSM range and I was hooked. I had British, French and Austrian armies.
ReplyDeleteI do not know if I will be able to resist the Austrians too!
DeleteAs much as I love them, Napoleonics are indeed a black hole and the fast track to madness. A guy could go blind painting them in their thousands, grow hair on his palms, or worse.

I've nominated your blog for a Liebster Award! You can see my post listing all my nominations (including this blog) here: http://legatuswargamesarmies.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/liebster-blog-award.html
ReplyDeleteThanks LH...will have to do the questionnaire!
Deletevery nicely painted indeed, but be careful with the headlines. I nearly choked on coffee as I read it as Newly Released Figures From Mr. Hezzlewood
ReplyDeleteIf only he were still around and producing!
DeleteAre all of the horses shown the CH-001 "Standing Horse" figure, some of which you "animated"? If so, excellent work!
ReplyDeleteThere are two horse poses here, the standing and walking pose if I recall correctly...incredibly it has been nearly 8 years since this post - I am a very slow collector.
