I think I'd like to take a quick tangent (I don't know why I call it that, they're never quick) into the world of historicals. Specifically, 8mm Napoleonics courtesy of Perry Miniature's TravelBattle. My original plan was to use these for Command and Colors Napoleonics, but I decided to laser cut some bases so I could use them for other games as well (maybe Lasalle or Blucher). Have I got all the colors in the right place? At 8mm I don't have to worry about buttons and other small details, but there's still a surprising amount of them on there.

Nice job on them, they look really good.

They look good Dave. There is a lot of bits of kit to pick out on the figures.

Thanks guys.

I finished my first battalion of 8mm French Fusiliers this week. I think I'll tackle some artillery next.

Lovely brushwork, in particular considering the scale

Thanks Nick.

I'm planning on breaking up the painting of the fusiliers with the artillery and cavalry options that came on the TravelBattle sprue. This past week I tackled the artillery.

Coming along nicely!

Thanks Nick.

I finished my second company of Fusiliers this week, on to the Carabiners next.

A lovely job on these.

Thanks Norm.

I got a new roof this past week so the Carabiniers got put on hold for a bit. They're done now, so I'll tackle one of my last two Fusiliers next.

They're packed with colors and details!

(I used your previous ruler reference pic above to get a size idea - then your painting became even more impressive)

Great job Evil Dave, from another Dave

Thanks Fly. Ya, there's plenty of details on these for 8mm figs. Thankfully some of the smaller stuff is not on them, they take long enough as it is.

Having painted a few I can attest to the fact yours are exquisite!
