28mm Napoleonic Dutch Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard

I painted the whites on these figures with oil paint because I wasn't satisfied with the "whiteness" of the Vallejo white I'd used. Then I glossed them with Damar varnish, which is a natural resin. I just fancied using these materials. I really like the depth of colours with this finish. The red looks particularly fine to my eye.

The figures are from Front Rank. They have a very nice range with lots of variety. Compared to Connoisseur they look like they followed the burger van on campaign which would be eminently sensible.

I love the dappled horse I did for these. It has taken me years to get this right.

I forgot the chevrons. So I will have to go back and do that now!

40mm Sash and Sabre Napoleonics

 A potential customer just asked me if I have any photos of my painted Sash and Sabre figures. I have these Napoleonics, which I've painted for some friends, but haven't posted yet because I'm hoping to buy some silfor tufts to put on these bases.

I leave the bayonets as they are so that customers can bend them straight. You want to leave them alone, as far as possible, to keep them strong.
