62- The Brave Scots

Here are the only pictures of the 79th Cameron highlanders I painted for my friend. I 'm disappointed because you won't see the pipers, and the officer on his white horse... Bah, anyway, time has passed, and I must say I was really pleased with the Old Glory miniatures, and the odd Warmodelling figures, from time to time. For example, the standard bearers and drummer are from Warmodelling. This is the last time I bother you with Napoleonics, at least for a while, and now I can go on painting my other projects, when I've finished the Romans...

Ce seront les seules phots des Ecossais du 79e Cameron Highlanders que vous verrez, hélas. J'ai vraiment apprécié peindre ces Old Glory, même sir les tartans ne sont pas évidents. Seuls les figs de commandement sont de chez Warmodelling. Maintenant, je vais pouvoir passer à autre chose, continuer mes autres projets de peinture, et en commencer d'autres.

Military advisor?

Another base of generals for Grande Armee. The minis are a mix from Old Glory, Warmodelling and Essex. Ok, you can sometimes see some shine but I ran out of varnish (darn). They're supposed to represent the allied division in my client's army.

Deuxième plaquette de généraux pour Grande Armée. Les figs sont un mix d'Old Glory, Warmodelling et Essex. Cette plaquette est censée représenter les généraux de la division d'alliés de l'armée de JBB.

The Guards coming in

Hi everyone. My trip to London is now over and my wife and I have found a really nice place in the heart of the capital city. Now I'm back and I'm painting rather frenetically because time is passing by very fast, and I still have a lot to do. Anyway, here is the first rank of the 1st Guards at Waterloo. Drummers and foot officers are from Warmodelling. the rest is... from Old glory.

Salut à tous. De retour de Londres, où ma femme et moi avons trouvé un charmant appart en plein coeur de la ville. Du coup, j'en profite maintenant pour peindre le plus possible avant ma vraie semaine de vacances et le déménagement. Et je vous présente donc la première ligne des Guards à Waterloo.

Some more Oranges?

I know it's a bad play on words, but before leaving for London, I finished painting the Orange-Nassau regiment. I also had time to sand the base. I must say I was badly surprised by this ref from Old Glory. Though they say it represents Nassau troups, we don't have any info about the blister composition. And in fact, we don't how many flank companies minis we'll get. And to add another downside, they're not that easy to spot when unprimed. It's only when undercoated that I saw the most part of them were from the flank companies... Damn! Fortunately, a good paint job helped me hide the details... Now time to go to bed, may plane is at 9. AM.

Juste avant de partir pour Londres, j'ai eu le temps de terminer le régiment Orange-Nassau. Je dois dire que je suis déçu du packaging Old Glory, car impossible de savoir combien il y a de figs des compagnies du flanc. Et bien sûr, c'est très dur à deviner quand elles ne sont pas sous-couchées. Ce n'est qu'après le bombage qu'on voit l'erreur, et dans mon cas, la majorité des figs sont des compagnies du flanc... Heureusement qu'une bonne peinture peut tout cacher ^^

WIP: Orange-Nassau

Not very motivated for the last few days. The reason is simple: I live in a flat, and many people have decided to do heavy work in theirs. So, for the past days, I'm forced to listen to the drills and the hammers... Anyway, I still manage to do some painting, and today I finished the first part of the Orange-Nassau regiment. 

 

 

 

Minis are, as always, from Old Glory, except for the command, which is... the French one from Warmodelling. In 15mm, and with a bit of paint, everything looks ok for game distance.

Pas super motivé en  ce moment, à cause de nombreux proprios dans mon immeuble qui ont décidé de faire des gros travaux. Bref, à part les bruits de marteaux et de perceuse... Toutefois, je réussis toujours à peindre un peu, et voici donc le première partie du régiment d'Orange-Nassau. La suite à venir très bientôt.
