Classic Napoleonics

(1/21) > >>

ilkley Old School:
I have been collecting 20mm Classic Napoleonics for nearly 2 years now and have been charting my progress on my blog.  https://ilkleyoldschool.blogspot.com/?m=1

I have had fun by sourcing and painting these figures.

Here are a few pictures of some of the figures.



Hinton Hunt British Lifeguards.



Hinton Hunt 95th Rifles.



Hinton Hunt French Carabiniers



Alberken/early Minifigs 5th Regt de Ligne



And of course the man himself.

Donkeymilkman:
Interesting topic, the figures look very nice.

Harry Faversham:
I well remember getting the 95th Riflemen, I was like Callan...
a proper wargamer!

Phil Portway:
I love the nostalgia of this thread. Well done ilkley. :-* :-* :-*

I remember my very first wargame 1972-ish . I went round my pals house with my unpainted airfix to be presented a table tennis table with hundreds of Painted Hinton's, all painted in your style, by his Dad.

What a slippery slope I was on! lol 

Arundel:
Those are lovely. Must say that the older I get, the more often I prefer simple paint jobs with no shading, highlights, etc. - maybe because that is what my ability has declined to, making a virtue of necessity  lol - but more due to the fact, I think, that the prime colours "pop" the figures more, especially in a case like this.

Anyway, splendid collection, and hoping we see more posts in the future!
