28th - Light and Grenadier companys complete.

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

28th - Light and Grenadier companys complete.

Post by big-gazza » Wed Mar 07, 2012 1:36 pm

Hi,
been painting a 28mm Napoleonics project for a while, the 28th Regiment of Foot at Waterloo in 28mm.

I've finally completed the light and grenadier companys. Should be getting back to the centre company later on this year. Some wip pictures can be seen at my blog.

I've tried to add a little story to each company. The Grens have the sergeant giving orders to some of the troops. The Light company are still forming up and a wounded sergeant is returning to the line.

Heres the pics.

Hi,
thanks for the comments. Not my first go at naps but I don't paint a lot of them.

It's not just the obvious quality of the painting and basing, Gazza--it's the posing and arrangement ('choreography'?) of the figures that really brings them to 'life'!

Top job, mate! :D 8)

Amen. They are absolutely smashing.

The only negative comment is that you're sitting here gabbing when you should be painting the rest of 'em! Back to work :lol:
