Figures painted in August

   It was another low production month.

   I painted these figures in the first 3 days of the month and just couldn't get motivated to start a new project.

   The last figures from my Victrix Napoleonic French box.

2 officer figures on the Right don't count, as they were already painted





28mm 20 figures
Bringing the yearly total to:

 Vehicles:                   4
  Artillery Pieces:      2
     (1/72 scale):      151
     (28+mm):         152
-------------------------
             Total         309

Figures I painted this month: July

Monthly painting report (July 2019)


Warlord games recently had another sprue sale, of which I took advantage of.  All the figures I painted this month were ones I picked up from the sprue sale.

First up is some Chasseurs A' Cheval .







Next was a unit of French Hussars.





Finally in the last 2 days of the month these guys burst out of my need to be painted pile, a twelve man unit of French Line Infantry in Greatcoats. Their pompoms are white, as I haven't yet decided what company to add them to.





An\other slow month, but I still added to my total:

(28+mm) 24

Bringing the yearly total to:

 Vehicles:                  4
  Artillery Pieces:      2
     (1/72 scale):     151
     (28+mm):         130
-------------------------
             Total       287

 Next month I hope to finish off my Napoleonic French I have a 6 man unit of Voltigers and the Command sections from my Victric box, plus three extra figures.
Ignore the 12 figure unit at bottom left of this pictures as it is the above unit before it was painted.

Perry Dragoons (part 2) the horses

Finished the horses, even based and clear coated.

I tried a different way to paint the horses. I painted base coated them a dark Brown, then a heavy dry brush of white and light colours, then washed them with a variety of Brown and black washes. It gave an OK look, but was no faster and all the horses are kind of the same colours, so I think I'll go back to my usual method.







Now I will have to channel my inner Vlad Tepes of Wallachia and impale the riders.

Perry Dragoons (Part 1) The dismounted guys

   I also picked up a box of Perry Miniatures French Dragoons and an extra sprue of the dismounted dragoons.

  I banged these guys out, last weekend.




28mm French Infantry finished (A.K.A. Part V)

Finished up my Perry French Infantry. All I had to do was clear coat them and do their bases.

Skirmishers

Colours Party

The rest of the box

More 28mm French (part III)

Finished another batch of Perry Miniature's French line infantry.

I decided to paint all the figures in great coats.



Here is every thing I have painted so far.



All I have left to paint is the Drummer, Eagle bearer, the officer and the the six figures in action poses.

 And this popped up on my door step the other day.
