Just off the painting desk is a regiment of French dragoons. These are done as the 18th with pink lapels.
The figures are 28mm metal miniatures from Perry Miniatures. They had very little flash on them, and were quite nice to paint. Though, on reflection, I could have found a quicker and better way to do them.
I haven't got a clue what I'm going to paint next. In a minute I'll wander down into the cellar of wargaming treasure and dig around until something catches my eye.
A fine looking regiment
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil.
DeleteThat look great Richard, the green with pink facings really pops!
ReplyDeleteThey do don't they. Perhaps we should all wear more pink!
DeleteNicely done, Richard!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan.
DeleteBeautiful work Richard, and the pink and green is a very striking and effective combination.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Lawrence.
DeleteBeautiful work sir!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased you like them Michal.
DeleteFine work there Richard and purists be damned;)!
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve, and I echo your sentiment.
DeleteNice work, the pink does look grand. Have fun in going through your reserve choices for the next project?
ReplyDeleteThank you. It may give me an opportunity to do a stock take as well.
DeleteSuper looking Dragoons Richard!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray
DeleteThey look absolutely wonderful Richard!
ReplyDeletePurists be d@mned. I have more books on Napoleonic uniforms than almost any other, single subject, and they look superb to me. If someone is looking at slight differences in helmet, length of coat tails or arrangement of buttons, they are missing the point entirely! (For pragmatism and multi-purposing, I'd accept an eagle above the flag, so that they could be used in the Napoleonic wars 'proper' too :). It's about a representation after all.)
Sorry, that became a bit of an opinionated rant, didn't it!!
Regards, James
I could not have said it better myself.
DeleteSplendid looking unit, they look great to me but then my dragoons wear bardin uniforms in 1809 ! I'm going to have to do another dragoon unit as I don't have one with pink facings and these look excellent!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I look forward to seeing those painted up Iain.
