Superb - to me this is what 6mm gaming should be about! Really inspiring....

Many thanks, gentlemen.

A couple more bases done this week, and have a bunch of cavalry on the go.

This is absolutely mad. Crazy. Bonkers. Hilarious.

...but also beautifully done and very inspiring! Great painting on those small devils.

Thanks much, gentlemen.

Finally managed to finish up most of the brushwork for the Lieb Carabinier regiment... basing to catch up on as usual. But which troops to work on next...

So sweet, I swear i can see one man who needs a shave and another who should do his tunic button up.  ;)

What are you using for filling/levelling out the bases?

Really appreciate seeing this in 6mm (my own SYW armies are 10mm) I particularly like the style of scenic items as, although a 10mm gamer, I usually use 6mm buildings etc. The look of mass is terrific.
If it’s too hard, I can’t do it

Thanks all, and more to follow.

Phil, I use Vallejo plastic putty to smooth out the transition from figure stand to base and then apply Liquitex Artists Stucco, which is great, when repurposed as a basing medium.

Some middling progress this week. A couple bases of Croat/Pandours to start.



And some Austrian Dragoons - did several horses with the new Contrast Paint. Look reasonably good. Total game changer? Probably not, at least for this scale.



Their elite company of horse grenadiers. Great sculpts here by Baccus.



And lastly. How I unwind between SYW units...  I need to add the front rank with lowered lances.

Brilliant- I’m finding these photos really inspiring (and I’m a 28mm junky!) - thanks so much for posting these!
