Hi all, here is the reveal of the Perry Miniatures Napoleonic British Hussars they are 28mm plastic figures . I will be painting French Hussars next so keep checking in . Regards Gav.
Never seen that varnish before. The figures look AWESOME Gavin!!! Love the horses to!!! Excellent paint work. I would have a difficult time selling my work. I'll be watching
Cheers Mike with my figure painting i get the enjoyment of painting various projects and then on to something new . Enjoy your weekend marra . Regards Gav.
'... British cavalry were known for not being greatly led...' that's an understatement Gav. They were described as the best in the world, and the worst led.
Outstanding figures, Gav. With this you ensure a good impression and glaz on the table. Congratulation to this masterly set. Greetings and a nice weekend, Gav. Joachim
Oh yes marra no video is complete without him tap dancing around the room Barclay used to just snore through my vids a bit like most of the people who tune in ! Regards Gav.
Awesone work done on those Hussars Gav! They are looking like they will start moving when you leave the room. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work marra!
Beautiful figures marra, really beautiful. Bases are unfussy and very convincing. Your painting brings out the flow and movement of the figures. Top stuff.
They are gorgeous, Gav. I just showed my wife. I asked her if she'd like to try something like those. She likes to paint stuff rather than assemble stuff. Maybe I'll buy her some figures. Be well, marra.
Your very kind Rob but please be aware these do come in pieces and have to be glued and the mould lines removed . Perry Miniatures also have metal figures with those you just need to file down the mould lines . Regards Gav.
Gav just a thought re varnishing. If you want two different finishes could you use masking fluid and use gloss on one part and matt varnish where that's required?
I think most things can work with a bit of practice Julian . That's what's great about figures and kits if you have an idea you can probably make it work . Regards Gav.
Hi David all Ak 3rd gen Dark sea blue , ocean blue , star blue and medium blue sometimes i mix them but that's the colours used with andrea blues used on the bag of the busby . Regards Gav.
Light cavalry they guard the flanks of the army keep the enemy cavalry finding out the movements of the army . They pursue and run down the fleeing enemy and of course do reconnaissance ahead of their own forces and when called on can be called on to charge fixed positions (as the light brigade did in the Crimea ) , cheers marra . Regards Gav.
