XVIth Analogue Painting Challenge - plans

 XVIth Analogue Painting Challenge - plans 

I have entered the 16th analogue painting challenge again this year, I have elected to accept the challenge to paint 600 points worth of figures. 



I am planning on painting some Napoleonics, some Early War Miniatures Belgian 20mm WW2, a few classic GW figures,  and several Judge Dredd figures from GW, Mongoose and Warlord Games. 

Cheers

Wip Wednesday- lots on the desk

 Quite a lot on the desk as I clear bits ready for more painting. As renovations are in full swing this week a bit motivation to get stuff done ready for undercoating before winter fully sets in! A big mix of ancients, revolutionary wars, 20mm Belgian and German bits

French Revolution Drums…..

 I have decided to build my French Revolutionary Regiments for the Analogue Painting challenge this year, so research has fully commenced! While I was at the Musee de l’Armée a few weeks ago for the first time I have really looked at the revolution equipment so a number of photos were taken and the rest from all over the place bought together for my research. I do not think I will get to some of the detail but an indicator of what a drum looked like will suffice, the red white blue hoops, and white cords and an indication of a non brass background of some description I suspect! Enjoy another dive down the rabbit hole! 













Cheers

Terrain Tuesday- Windmill

 Windmill

I picked up the Renendra Windmill at Partizan, last week I put it together, painted it and then was not happy with the lines so I added wood putty paste and repainted it, much happier now. I am considering adding real cloth sails and some flour sacks. Maybe on a week or so when my Victrix stuff arrives. I added green wash for the windows etc pretty happy with the results 

Cheers

Prussian 4th Hussars (1st Silesian) 1813-15 1st Squadron

 Prussian 4th Hussars (1st Silesian) 1813-15 1st Squadron 

The 1st squadron, I elected to mount them all except the colonel on palomino horses, really happy with my paint job, so simple to do with close Pelisse. Again Elite Miniatures.

Prussian 4th Hussars (1st Silesian) 1813-15 2nd Squadron

 Prussian 4th Hussars (1st Silesian) 1813-15 2nd squadron 

I elected to paint the second squadron of the 4th hussar regiment on bay horses, so quite plain compared to the other two squadrons.
