Perry Guard Chasseurs

I bought these 2nd hand with some other Perry stuff for a cheap price. Problem was these boys were "painted".
Truly terrible paint job so I started just highlighting but basically hand to totally repaint.

Quite pleased with the results but there is a loss of detailing due to the numerous coats of paint.

I think the officer came out well though.

And I am getting the handle of the white.

Beautiful sculpts as per usual from the twins

Loads of charater

I put the flag upside down but its the wrong one anyway and was going to be replaced

Hope you liked them.

Foundry Bavarians

Its been a while but I have been busy with Bavarians!

These are Foundry shown in a firing line. Grey under coat, some inking and use of Andrea paints for the flesh tone and the white.

Painting total for 2009 - part 2

Added to my last tally a couple of months ago we can add the following:

36 Victrix Italians using white undercoat and a nasty accident using vallejo matt varnish. Sob. 8 friggin hours of inking and lining to deal with the worst effects of the varnish but their beauty is still marred!

15 Foundry casualties using the Army Painter stuff as an experiment.

64 Foundry Bavarians that are now safely on their way to Canada.

2 Hovels buildings.

On the whole not a bad total as I dont paint that much and have hardly done any at the weekends.

At the moment am working on some foundry Bavarians por moi, and then back to some more Bavarians for some Canadian meglomaniac.

Foundry French Napoleonic artillery

Horse artillery in campaign dress

8lb battery

I think all the figures are different

The first French regiment I ever painted marching out to deal with Prussian interlopers.


I am quite pleased with the results although the purists will say its Spanish, I have seen very similar houses in Bavaria.
