Bavarian Napoleonic Artillery

 Completed my battery of Bavarian Artillery, quite happy with my artillery uniform blue colour. The Front Rank figures are a pleasure to paint and once I got motivated we’re completed in three nights. The guns have been completed for almost two months. 

I plan to commence the Victrix infantry for the Analogue painting challenge, I have some metal Front Rank command and light cavalry also to do to complete the division.






Cheers

Are you not entertained! Roman arena civilians

 One of the side projects I commenced last year was to build a gladiator arena, one thing missing was civilians, I picked up 80 seated figures to paint, this is the first lot completed

French Gendarmerie Alouette III

 Completed a little side project this weekend. A very old Heller kit. I plan to use this in an upcoming scenario. The kit is a little vague on assembly instructions  however with a few google searches you will find suitable images to help. I have added two Elhiem pilots but I did need to cut the seat height down by a few mm. I have given it a single coat of clear Matt varnish, I think it may need another.  Overall quite happy with the build, now to build a carry case! 






Cheers
