More Testing Times…

Greetings…

Here are a couple more colour tests…

The first is of course the Hanoverian Light Infantry…

This has come out very nicely… There was always going to be a risk that it would be a bit dark but I don’t think it is…so hurrah!

The second lot of  are North Star 1672 figures…

I only have a few of these and when I came across them the Butterfly said “ put some paint on them “ so I did…

I painted them as a Danish Fyn Regiment Pikeman, a Swedish Dal Regiment Junior Officer and a Swedish Halland Regiment Musketeer…. All from the Scanian War.

I am rather pleased with the results…but I will not be adding any more at the moment as I have shiny little people to get on with…

All the best… Aly

Shiny Napoleonics… W.I.P.

Greetings…

As promised here is a W.I.P. Photo of my next Shiny Napoleonic unit…

They are (going to be) the Hanoverian Light Battalion Luneburg.

I was rather taken by this unit when I first saw it…Riflemen colouring but with the added interest of shoulder rolls and a Belgic shako.

The musician also has red shoulder rolls and shako cords.

The figures I have used are mostly Minifigs Intermediate BN1… British Infantryman Running.

It’s a rather nice active position…

Shoulder rolls and a few other repairs and adjustments were made with Green Stuff.

As can be seen… I could not get all of the original paint off the figures… What you see are the results of  one soaking in Dettol and two in Bleach… At this point I decided that life is too short and ended things there…

If I ever find out what the paint was/is I shall use it on the exterior of my house as I suspect it is Weatherproof/ Radiation-proof  and possibly Bulletproof …

These will be undercoated tonight…

There will no doubt be some more re - based Romans on their way as well.

All the best.  Aly

And an other Re - Based unit…

Greetings….

Here is yet another Re- Based Late Roman unit….

Once again… They have had new spears and a little bit of sprucing… Mainly to repair damage that I caused 🙄.

I think this lot have a bit of a Germanic feel to them (Don’t ask me why… they just do😁)… So I think they could be Romans/German Auxiliaries or Goths.

I’ve just finished prepping a new Shiny Napoleonic unit… I should get them undercoated tomorrow.

I will take a W.I.P. Photo…

All the best   Aly

Late Romans… Yet more Re-Basing…

Greetings…

Here we have another batch of my Re-Based new Late Romans…

Most of them have had a little bit of a spruce up and new spears…

The Command group was put together from a couple of spare figures… Something my friend David Bickley does… So quite in keeping with this collection.

Some of these will work well as Romans or Barbarian/Goth types and one unit will certainly work nicely as Romano - British or Romano - Gaul.

There is another batch being worked on and I have been prepping something shiny…flutter flutter 🦋.

All the best.  Aly
