French Napoleonic Limbers

Welcome to part two of the Napoleonic project we're working on. These are all Foundry figures. 2 French limber teams pulling 12 pdr's. These are again painted to our Museum standard. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy painting these Foundry figures. A Good figure makes the whole experience all the more enjoyable.

The Green on the gun is as realistic as possible. The description of the colour of paint used was yellow ochre plus a very small amount of black. So I recreated this using vallejo colours and it turned out to be a fantastic highlight colour which matches rather well with a lot of images I've seen in various books.

I hope you like them. Feel free to comment below.

Music to my ears

Here's a one off post for those of you who listen to music as you paint.

I listen to music on www.we7.com You can listen to whole albums on there for free and buy downloads too. They have a whole catalogue of fantastic bands and a radio feature to listen to as well as lot of new albums you can listen to the day they are released in a try before you buy kind of style. you just listen to a short advert before each song and away you go. you can sign up and save up points that add up to one advert free day.

I just thought I'd share this with you.

Foundry French Artillery

As Promised here is the first part of a new Napoleonic Project.

We are concentrating on the French First so here we have some French Campaign Artillery crew. Guns and limbers to follow shortly.

These are painted to our Museum standard.

The blue is Vallejo Dark Prussian blue for the base coat. Followed by a 50/50 mix of Dark Prussian blue and Royal blue. Then highlighted with an 80/20 mix of Royal blue and sky blue for the highlights.

The Red is Vallejo Black red base coat followed by Vallejo RED.

Napoleonic Project

Hello! Sorry it's been a while since my last post. We've been very busy trying to get stuff done for christmas. We've been working on a lot of different projects one of which will be heavily featured on this very blog.

We are painting Napoleonics. Peninsular French and british and will be posting pictures very soon. First up will be some Foundry Artillery!

Something old. Something new.

I was looking though some pictures today and saw this GW Wood Elf I painted a while back and thought I'd share it on the blog to co-inside with some new youtube videos on how to paint GW Imperial guard Ursarker Creed.

How to Paint Perry Miniatures Napoleon

Hi Guys

This is along the lines of Artmaster Vision but the video is shot in much better quality and has been uploaded to youtube so feast your eyes on this 5 part series on How to paint a 28mm Perry miniatures Napoleon.

If you find the video is pausing on its own you may have to manually pause it and let it buffer ( the red bar to fill up ) and then press play!

Enjoy!

Ruperts foot Finished!

Here are the pictures of the finished Ruperts foot unit.

Artmaster Vision Nap Special

Hi guys.

Heres the latest Vision.

I feel it went quite well. I forgot to paint on a patch I said I would but overall they look quite nice. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Thanks for watching!

95th Rifles

Here is a recent unit we painted. All Perry miniatures metal 95th Rifles except for the mounted officer which is a conversion made from a Perry Horse, a Foundry RHA mtd officer body and a plastic Perry Rifle Head. It's an easy conversion and works rather well.

I hope you enjoy looking at this unit as much as I enjoyed painting it. The Decals on the backpacks and water bottles are from Alban Miniatures. You have to cut them out which is fiddly but well worth it.

I just wish Perry Miniatures figures had less flash!
