French Napoleonic Part 3

 Another unit of French completed.

Cuirassiers again...

Not great --- contrast paint for horses and normal paints for rest.




Obligatory animation.... 



Figures 10mm from Pendraken

Not a great result, will win no awards, but another 15 figures done.

    For 10mm, it’s the impact of masses of figures not the detail on the individual. Looks good!

      Thanks Jon. That's the plan, make it so no one can see the (badly painted) trees in the forest 😂

    Jon is right. They look fine until you enlarge the image and see them as if they are 28mm....few of us will ever be able to view them like that in real life!

    You seem to be making steady progress with your Napoleonic figures.

      Thanks Iain! Oops, you are right! They are Dragoons not Cuirassiers ... hopefully the Napoleonic mafia won't hear about it, getting the number of buttons wrong is one thing but mis-identifying the cavalry is well over the line 😂

    JB and the rest above are correct. No one can paint 10mm figures well and what would be the point? It’s the mass effect that matters. 😀
    You’re really cranking through these at a good pace.
