Victrix French painted as Italian 3rd regiment

Confronting the Prussian hordes


Voltiguer company

Grenadier company




The thin white line.......



Lovely figures.....but



Buggers to assemble (I am no modeller)



And I think the black undercoat obscures teh details that isnt as pronounced as found in metal figures



I am now painting another Italian regiment with white undercoat and inking




I like them and am converted. Anyone want to buy my foundry naps?

  5. I'm just finishing my first unit of Victrix (also Italian). They are indeed lovely figures, but I'm rather the worried that they will suffer the odd breakage, the muskets and bayonets seem a lot more brittle than the Perry plastics.
