Progress on this set. Hmm, Trumpet banner, kettledrum banner & guidon, things are going to get much more difficult soon.

Roger.

Looks good so far. Nice bluetones.

Cheers

Coming along a treat Roger. I like the feeling of real movement that these figures portray. I was going to say exude but couldn't spell it.
Nice work Mate.
Cheers,
Keith

Thank you Martin.

Cheers Keith. The figures were engraved by one of the greats of the zinnfiguren world, Ludwig Frank. Run through Google translate this is hardwork but interesting nevertheless.

looking great Roger, horses and faces excellent. Some real challenges ahead with the uniforms.
Should be very impressive.
Cheers
Derek

Thanks Derek. I think the secret with faces at this size is to keep it as simple as possible but get the shadows and lights in the right place without worrying too much about the detail.... that's the theory anyway.

Roger.

A lot of work with silver laces and embroideries al around. Good work in the horses, I follow.

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Yeah that's some scary detail coming up Rog Looking forward to seeing you sweat

Thank you Eduardo.
Thanks Steve, I've been seating over the kettledrum cover today.
Roger.

Looks good mate that is some serious finicky work

Cheers Steve, that's just the start.

I'll errr leave it with you then Rog

If I need any counseling I'm sure you'll lend a sympathetic ear.

I love your flat figures Roger. Well done!

Pedro.

Thank you very much Pedro, there's plenty more where these came from and more on their way from Germany as we speak.

Roger.

That's a great task Roger, and I'm very convinced that you bring it to a end.

Marc

Thanks very much Marc.

Roger.

Incredible write up Roger. He seemed to be a very humble man who knew just how good he was.
Imagin having to etch into slate to make your moulds today. We would see only a fraction of the new figures that we get now.
So tell me, are your figures from the original etchings?
Great post Roger and best of luck with those banners.
Cheers,
Keith

Keith, there's still a lot of flats particularly in 30mm that are engraved the old fashioned way into slate. The figures I am painting at the moment are from the original moulds. It can sometimes be a bit hit and miss because as you can imagine some of the moulds are getting a bit tired after so many years.

Roger.

Roger great painting so far and looking forward to seeing the trumpeters uniform completed it looks a real challenge.

Cheers Ken
