Napoleonic Bits and Pieces

[Aaron]

In between painting for other people I occasionally manage to work in something for myself. I have been collecting the beautiful Eureka Wars of the French Revolution range since it came out, but Napoleonics in general have always been a favorite subject. Enough blathering, on to the pictures!

First up are a general and aide de camp from Front Rank. I have no real use for these in my 1796-7 games, but Front Rank are such a joy to paint that I find it hard to resist painting them.



I also found it hard to resist picking up CP Models French personalities, despite the fact that I already own at least three other Napoleons!

Generals Custine ("General Moustache") and Desaix


Generals Kellerman and Kleber



And finally, General Bounaparte


Opposed to them is a solitary Austrian General (Eureka)


From the dizzying heights of field command to the lowly laborers behind the scenes, I now bring you Eureka's French artisans. First up, the armourers to keep the generals' swords sharp and polished!


Next the wheelwright to keep their personal baggage rolling.


Finally the field bakery. An army marches on it's stomach, after all.


And a close up. You can't help wondering what that bread tasted like.


Apologies for the generally shoddy photography and slight shine (and my shadow cropping up in two of the pics!). It seems the new formulation of Testors  Dullcote is not nearly as dull as the old.

What a lovely collection of vignettes. Thanks for sharing.

Some very lovely miniatures there, never seen them before. Great job, Aaron!

[Kingscarbine]

Very nice figs.

[Lt. Hazel]

Great painting, especially the vignettes look splendid. Are they just decoration or do you use them in Games?

[Aaron]

Thanks fellows. I mainly painted them just because I liked them, but I imagine one or two will work their way into a Sharp Practice game.

Really nice, thanks for sharing these.

The breadmaker - Now I know what the French mean when they say they like cheese with their loaf.

Cheers

That is so true

Excellent, the Eureka range is a lovely one and you've more than done them justice
