    Have just completed a 75mm figure of a French Dragon of foot from the Army of Italy, 1806.
    Painted in acrylics and inks plus oil on the wooden furniture of the musket.
    The Figure is from Avanpost from IL Miniatures, Germany.

    Thank you Nap. I used inks on the metal parts, the one I used is from dark star called

    Beautifully done Bob, another Napoleonic inspiration. I took your advice and got some Darkstar metallics, very glad I did, thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at their inks as well.

    Cheers Simon

    Malc, Melanie and Simon.
    Thank you for the great comments, Simon Glad to help re the metallics they are the best so far but need a good shaking, the inks are good too.

    Thank you, these figures nearly paint themselves but with all the detail it's easier to paint in sub assembles.
