Wow! Excellent paintjob, their details pop!
You put your best over these so fine sculpts! Congrats!
With a proper basing they will be a jewel of an army!

Hi guys

Some 1/72 Art Minituren French young Gaurd Tirailleurs finished on commission, this is the first 1/72 metal Napoleonics that I have painted, its quite a nice scale, the figs aren't bad, the casting was a little rough, and the muskets aren't the best, but they will look good on the table, all comments welcome.

They look good - nice whites.

Hi guys

I don't know how many 10s of thousands of 15mm Napoleonic figures I have painted, its a lot, but the journey had to start somewhere, here are some pics of my first 15mm Napoleonic figures, painted 23 years ago, these are French, the white uniforms represent those Regts that were issues white for a short time when the French ran out of blue dye due to the British blockades.

I was going to say how badly these guys are painted, but having blown up the pics they're not to bad, only need a wash and some highlights to be presentable.

I managed to get 12 x 12 man Battalions, some arty, and some allies finished the first time, I will be doubling these to 24 man bats, repainting to all dark French blue, and re basing, aiming for a corps size force for 1809-10 Peninsular War.

When I bought these guys there was no online, they were bought from my LHS, so I ended up with a mix of figures, most of these figs are Old glory for the command and centre companies, which I don't mind, (if I was starting from scratch I would use ABs) and for the flankers some Essex which I loath and will replace ( I might use their heads for some head swaps) Lancaster miniatures, which fit in well with OG but are limited in pose, so I will be converting them a little to expand their usefulness, and some Minifigs, which I don't mind, but have a very different style to everyone else, so I might leave them out, or might try and keep to their own bat.

I also have a Peninsular Brit army (ABs) and plan on doing an 1815 Prussian army with mostly ABs and some Old Glory for the Landwher.

I must have 200 of those plastic containers filled with both painted and unpainted troops!  They are very useful for 15 mm figures - excepting, sometimes, cavalry.  Seems a shame to dispense with already painted figures.  Can't you just judiciously mix them in with the existing and the new figures?  Might save a fair amount of time and expense.

Enjoyable! But also must say, that's a heap of painting!!!!

Hi guys

Despite my posting pics of infantry in my French revamp post, I'm starting off with a Cav unit, my aim is to try and use up any figs in my stash before buying new figs (only if I have to) so I'm converting the Westphalian light horse from OG Bavarian Chevaulegers.

The helmet was wrong, so I have head swapped with some spare OG Carabinier heads, I have yet to change some details on the helmets, I have removed all the swords and drilled hands for lances, and given them wool shabraques.

Yet to do

Helmet details
add a sword and scabbard
shape the lance and add pennants

Question : does anyone know if the Westphalian light horse had carbines? I cant see any in reference pics.

Looking good, your dedication is paying off.

(Sorry don't enough about the period re. carbines, etc.)

[Gunner Dunbar]

Hi guys

These guys are finished, well the painting at least, will base them once the whole army is finished so that the basing is consistent. have also finished the first 2 French battalion re paints, will post those pics soon.

Loads of pics here
