Back to the project.

It is a month since my first posting on this new blog, but work is finally back underway. I have been suffering with a very painful eye infection that has limited my ability to paint. However, it seems to be clearing up, and if I paint in natural daylight, as opposed to artificial light, I can paint for an hour or so.

The test figures are now almost complete, still some fine details to be added, but as these guys are so small and will be in three ranks on a 30 x 30 mm base, then I am not going to go overboard with the detailing.



Russians.


French.


British.


I shall paint them up a regiment/battalion, at a time. I plan on two bases of fifteen figures, which should be adequate, though for smaller games, a single base will do. I have primed up a French unit to work on first, once the test figures have been finished.


This project will be running in tandem with the 28 mm Liberty or Death box set, to give me some variation in both era and scale.

    The close-up shots really show the detail these little figures have. Looking good so far, Ian. Keep at it.

    Good stuff Ian. How are you finding the difference between 6mm and 10mm? Which do you prefer?

      Thanks buddy, hard to tell at the moment, still really getting my eye in on these guys. Certainly a lot more detail on the 10's as opposed to the 6's. Not sure how much of that detail is worth doing as they will be packed in three ranks. Once the test figures are complete, I shall have a better idea.
