Just off the painting desk (ie the dining room table) a unit of French light infantry, carabiniers, for the Revolutionary Army in Italy.
The figures are all Trent Miniatures.
The pictures are not as crisp as I would like, but here goes.
I've been priming a load of FPW infantry, but next up for the brushwork are Revolutionary Wars Austrian infantry.
Super work, Richard! It takes a brave painter to tackle striped pants.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. Is that brave or foolhardy?
DeleteBeautiful work Richard. As Jonathan alludes to, striped pants can look terrible when not done properly but you have nailed these. The variation in width between the blue and red stripes is particularly effective.
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind Lawrence.
DeleteVery nice painting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter.
DeleteNicely done
ReplyDeleteCheers Neil.
DeleteBeautiful work sir!
ReplyDeleteFrom you Michal that is high praise indeed, thank you.
DeleteNice work Richard, brave boy painting the stripy troos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. Nice to be called a boy.
DeleteThese are great Richard - the Revolutionary Wars period is one I have been tempted by on many occasions, but I think I will manage to resist starting something new again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. Alas, there are always projects that have to remain on the "I would like to but..." list.
DeleteThey look great. Much respect for the striped trousers, I would not have even tried!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks. Don't look too closely at them though.
DeleteGreat work on those Richard, with the scenic items added to the bases and some striped trousers really making them look superb! A very tempting period for sure, but then so is the 1809 Danube campaign...
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. So many periods, so little time.
DeleteLovely work. I especially like the stripped trousers. You clearly have a very steady hand!
ReplyDeleteCheers Lee
DeleteExcellent paintwork on these light infantry men!

Appreciated Iain.
DeleteThese look sensational Richard. I especially admired the striped trousers, as one who struggles to paint anything like straight lines.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thank you James.
