Just trying my best painting miniatures , and hopefully encouraging others to paint too, I have a passion for Napoleonic miniatures, but I also enjoy military modelling in 1/35 scale, I used to collect warhammer 40k with my 2 sons, but sold my collection some years ago. Thanks for looking and please would you subscribe to the channel to help it grow, and thank you for your support,
I'm in the process of assembling 2 of them, I've noticed that there's about 5 heads which are specific to 1 body, but there are still plenty of head options for the others, I'll explain this in the next video, once I've finished building the 2 Knights,
I have just found and subbed to your channel I am just starting out in 28mm figures is it best to paint them on the sprues or is it easier when they are pre built any help would be much appreciated thanks. Carl
I usually paint them made up, but I have been trying other ways like painting on the sprue, it does make painting the collars and heads a lot easier to paint before glueing them, just keep watching other RU-vid channels as everyone has a different painting technique and you'll find a technique or a mishmash of techniques that suits you, but most of all enjoy the hobby,
Do love the "Landwehr" also, not just because I am Austrian, but also there are different uniform-colors, depending where they come from: f.e. Vienna, Carinthia, Lower Austria, Salzburg, etc.
I'm slowly getting them finished, then I can start working on the new Duchy of Warsaw figures, and looking forward to seeing your progress on those figures too
Very nice. I'm just starting on some Perrys Franco-Prussian War stuff - Prussians first. Bit difficult getting the French at present due to supplier issues down to NZ, but my supplier does have these British in stock. I wonder if it is conceivable to play these against the Prussians in a hypothetical scenario where the UK gets involved in the Franco-Prussian war? Surely someone has given it a go with suitable rules !!! Haha. Nice work sir.
Yes the soldiers were allowed to stain down their helmets and webbing straps, I've represented that with these figures but I kept the officers helmets white,
Good video, about to order some of these. Handy to see the sprues as I wanted to see if there were plumed heads to spare which could be used on the Russian Ulhans set to make Polish lancers. Looks like there are plenty to go around.
Very nicely done, a display case would be nice to put them in, I've got very little space but sort out a bit of room somewhere, Your the same as me i don't play much games but luv painting figures 👍🎲
I've been thinking about a display case, I'll invest in one at some point, I just haven't seen one yet that I like the look of, so for the moment they are keeping safe in their boxes, 👍
The building/painting guide that comes with the set will help you, but what you'll find is the backpacks will have slight differences for grenadiers and fusiliers and voltiguers. EDIT-- There is an image on the painting guide shows what backpacks for which figures, also which heads too
I'm probably not the best person to ask, I collect rather than play, but for basing them it will depend on which rules you would be playing, basing usually either 4 or 6 figures to a base, and skirmish figures are based singular, somebody who plays more than me , please correct me if I'm wrong
Thank you, I used a wet pallet for these, just to see what sort of finish I would get, I finished them and put them away, I was looking through boxes of what I've done and after not seeing these for a while, I thought even for my standards they looked quite good so hence this video,
Very nice, been doing some of these myself for the 1st Boer War but I’ll use them for AZW too. The Warlord ones are also nice and you get some kneeling poses too. A bit shorter and chunkier than the Perry. I’m using those as 60th Rifles in the green uniforms.
