28mm Napoleonic Saxons

Well some of the guys at PAW bought a ton of 28mm Napoleonic at out show in February, to play Black Poewder with.  I liked the look and thought I would give it a go..

Here is my first attempt at doing a Victorix 28mm figure form start to finish.

I was surprised how well the figure went together.  I used liquid plastic cement as apposed to super glue, it was recommended by a friend.

I decided to do something a little different and paint the figures as Saxons.  

I painted the figure in my normal way, base coat, block paint and then Army Painter Dark Tone.  the only concession was the flesh, I used an orange brown with a highlight of light flesh, I think it worked ok with the AP Tone.

Whilst I did enjoy painting the figure I am not sold on the project, typically I have bought about 100 foot figures and 2 artillery pieces lol.  I do think I will be returning to my first idea of doing Russia 1812 using Pendraken 10mm.  I prefer the idea of lots of regiments and hundreds of figures.....I know I am a megalomaniac! LOL

More Napoleonic

Just a selection of finished Napoleonic troops for my friend Al.  They were actually painted at the end of last year but I finally based them in December.

The plastic boxes of metal that Al presented me with some time ago has nearly run out but not quite, there is more to come.  There will be a few more French and some British to come.
