Thanks Neil, missed that one when you put it up, I guess. 16 will make a nice "Band 'O Brothers"......looking forward to seeing it all come together. :thumb2:

Those two are superb Neil. You really do show great talent with these very colourful, Napoleonic figures.

[Neil Merryweather]

Thank you kindly, Gentlemen all, for the fine comments!
I hereby present to you Fusilier 12 in his pre-painted state.





I think the bayonet I printed looks a bit overscale so I'm going to check the dimensions and maybe print some a bit smaller.
I had problems painting the eyes of the last few figures so I decided to do an OEDIPUS and gouge them out ,and add new ones which are ,hopefully , better defined.
I'm going to paint this one next , rather than work on any of the others, while I can still remember more or less how to do it!
Thanks for watching

Neil .
Poses are great, in the first batch of photos the second one was perfect. :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:

[Mini Me]

Ditto! :thumb2: What JR sed!

[Neil Merryweather]

Thanks John & Rick.
Well I've checked the bayonet and it's the same length as the Historex ones I've used, so it can stay.

Fusilier 12 is done








Annoyingly I don't notice the white dust until I see the pics on the PC screen:rolling:

Unfortunately I broke the musket detaching it from the painting stick, so I'll have to paint another one-I do have a fair few spares.
Only 3 left to go now...
Cheers
Neil

Painting is great. As others have said your ability to get the poses spot on is impressive.
