WIP 30mm Thirty Years War Reiter

[billyturnip]

Despite the workbench groaning under the stuff I have underway at the moment I couldn't help but start something else just to satisfy my own cuiriosity.
I am quite pleased how the armour and the horse turned out on the Wallenstein figure, can I do it on a 30mm? Well we'll see.

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this one Roger. Going by what you did with the 45mm flat, I'm sure it'll be another cracker

Thanks for the vote of confidence Billy... I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

This is a Ludwig Frank engraving which is always a sign of quality.

I'd say that's on a par with a well engraved flat!

What?! Are you mad? A combination of black and white, probably the two most difficult horse colours there are!
Sounds like a challenge.

You must be thinking of my long lost Scottish cousin, Wullie Tumshie.

If you saw the size of the cavalry arm of my grey army Ron you'd know why, that and the fact I think I know how to paint 'em now.

Conventional basecoats are for losers.

A very good engraving Roger,
nice sharp detail and another lot of armour for you to weave your magic on.
All the best

Ludwig Frank was one of the best. You can read a biography of him here,

If you can read German that is, or alternatively use Google translate.
