Hi everyone,

I have just finished painting the first figures of the upcoming NZW range from Empress. They were really a joy to paint (which is not a matter of course in my case as I usually get tangled up in the belt jungle of early 19th century uniforms

). The British regulars are colour samples for the four regiments that were involved in the First NZW. So here's my impressionistic collision of metal and paint:

Wonderful!
I'm just finishing up my first few.

Great stuff, just the ticket.

Very nice work indeed!

Not a bad uniform guide for one or two of us to boot

Really great work

Are these Victrix plastic bases?

Grimnir · « **Reply #7 on:** April 15, 2011, 04:21:34 PM »

Yes, the bases are Victrix. They combine the advantages of both rectangular and round bases. You can arrange them in chocolate bar formations and they don't look strange in loose formation.

Very nice - not helping me avoid buying some of these though!

Cool paintwork

My "to buy" list grows ever longer

Very successful meeting with paint!

It has been quite some time but slow and steady I am continuing my "blotty" work.
