Warfare in any century is barbaric Gavin. However, I think combatants in that age saw more of death and hardship in everyday life than we can possibly understand, and this made them mentally tougher and more able to cope with the sights and sounds of battle.

Suburb as usual Neil, do you do hip replacements asking for a friend ?Comment

Paint has been flung!
I was going to complete one figure at a time, but I think I might just do all the heads first in the hope that I get into a bit of a groove.
I have such trouble remembering what I did before, but at least I have made notes for the uniforms.Comment

Looking splendid Neil. Quite a wistful expression on him isn’t there.Comment

It's total pot luck as far as any expression is concerned- as long as he looks mostly human I'm happy!Comment

Superb work on the head Neil.Comment

Fusilier 8 is ready for paint, but he'll have to wait until I've freed up some Crocodile clips
I changed the head. I wanted a really young looking one so this one is from a Historex lady. It's hard to see in white but hopefully it will look good in paint.
I had to do the bloody hobnails again, and I've 3D printed my own shoulder straps-fingers crossed they look ok with paint on.
I'm going to explore 3D printing some boots with hobnails for the upcoming casualties- got to find some easier solution or I'll lose the will to live!
cheers for now

Impressed with all this talk about 3D printing Neil, at one point I thought the black art was moulding , advanced PE , but now convinced otherwise .
What's the world of modelling going to be like in 10 years ? Hopefully I'm still around to see .Comment

I think it's going to work

Compared to the hand made ones, they look a bit like DM soles Neil. It’s probably the print striations so it will be interesting to see what they are like under paint…..Comment
