Les Francais sont arrivé

Or something like that... Well I now truly have no excuses any more to avoid to get cracking with the project since the pre-1812 French from HäT arrived.


It took my 3 nights to get everything off the sprues but now I can get on with prepping them for painting.


The size is a tad smaller than the former releases, but since I have to head-swap just about every single one of them, they will grow a bit anyway.

A little bit of progress!

Just another small post to show you things are progressing at a steady pace. Here are some of the British Firing line figures base-coated.


They'll be painted soon!

Happy New Year!

Hoi,

A short post to tell you guys I am finally gearing up for war in earnest here. I have managed to sort out the British and Allied troops I already own and this resulted in a major scare because I am seriously lacking in marching British (and thus Portuguese)  troops. But for now I will start with the  3 units of Wallace's brigade standing in firing-line. As you can see from the photo below, I have converted some Revell Brits with HäT spare heads in order to create some diversity in the line.


One of the biggest pro's with doing this is that you can alter the pose by turning the heads and that creates a more natural looking situation.
Normally I would use Pattex powergel to stick the figures on, but instead I used Valejo plastic filler. This has the positive effect of filling the gaps left between head and collar and that's good for a better fit but also a better look.

It will take me quite some time to get these chaps painted there being an odd 80 or so, therefore I will let you know when there's something to show!

Cheers Sander
