Colonial Wargames

I returned home from holiday yesterday and decided to finish off these two figures before picking up on the Russian Napoleonic cavalry.

The painting style is a bit of a retro experiment, with a lot less black showing through-it does look rather neat in the flesh but I am not too sure it photographs well.

The figures are original 1980's Pax Britannica figures, now available from DPC in the US. The figures were sculpted by the late Steve Hezzlewood and really are at the top end of the "anatomically correct" style of figures. The detail is there but it is very fine. I had large numbers of the ACW figures because they matched the plastics so well. Lovely!

Work In Progress Russian Cavalry

There has been a total lack of posts since the middle of last month. Annoyingly this has been caused by work commitments.

At the end of this month my office is relocated further away so my commuting time has probably been doubled.

Not sure how this is all going to affect my painting timetable.

Tomorrow I go on holiday and plan to catch up on some reading (and try and forget work). So for now I leave you with the first of the Newline Russian Cuirassiers, the start of a 15 figure unit that I will finish when I get back.
