To add to my wooden (MDF) 6mm Revolutionary Wars French army, I've painted these as skirmishers.
The figures are from Commission Figurines. I love their charm. Plus, at £2 for 96 infantry, it exerts a charm in these more financially challenging times.
As with all small figures, don't look too closely. I should comment that from a gamer's position looking over a table, you wouldn't immediately know that these are MDF and flat.
And there you have it.
Tiny little fellas but impressive brushwork!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan.
DeleteAs with all your MDF figures these are painted with a wonderful crispness that makes them a joy to look at. Nicely done Richard.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generous comments Lee.
DeleteLove these figures Richard and love the price too!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray.
DeleteThey look great Richard. At that scale the thickness of the mdf works well and gives them that three-dimensional look.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. I think you are right about the scale helping.
DeleteYou certainly would not pick them as being MDF. Very nicely painted.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter. When on the table they look what they are... toy soldiers.
DeleteFine work there Richard and I love my CF mdf figures too, although I have gone with a very Old School simple and shiny approach. Most people are surprised when they look closely to see that they are '2D' as when on the table, they look '3D'.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. Old School looks good with these figs. There is a olde worlde charm to both the material and being flat.
DeleteWow! I'll have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. It's worth a look. The site is not always up to date, so it pays to drop the owner, Walter, a line if you have anything in mind. He is friendly and will let you know if he has something not yet in the catelogue.
DeleteThey are really good! I bought a couple of packs of their ACW figures at Salute before the pandemic, and enjoyed painting them up just to see. If I ever get the itch for Napoleonic, this is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks David. I know that some have a front rank of metal, then fill the other ranks with these. Personally I think the figures look good and stand on their own feet.
DeleteI see what you mean about their charm. They exude loads of the stuff. You have painted them sooooo well too!
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
You are too kind in your comments James.
