    Evening all, I have started work on the Hussar figures - I started with their Shako details first, then moved down to their main block colours - followed by some detail painting.

    Morning all, next bit of figure making/painting - I started off with one of my 54th Ligne chaps and decided to convert him into a "I have just been shot" figures who has fell to his knees, I achieved this by heating the plastic with a hairdryer to soften the plastic - I then just bent his legs behind him till I got the pose I wanted.
    I have also made some other figures advancing/loading and firing -

    He is not glued down yet just placed to get an idea of how he looks.

    Evening all, more horses done - well it includes a re-paint of one of them as I wanted to display Two Dark Chestnuts - so a base colour was mixed - bit of Oak Brown, Red and Yellow till I found a reasonable mix, then after some detail painting - some washes finsihed off with some dry brushed dust.
