As you can imagine the last week was pretty busy. We had to arrange our family business with the new member but all in all it went really well. Fortunately Anna's much more relaxed than here older sister and mother are from time to time. She really takes after her father.
So I was able to spend some time at the painting table. Unfortunately not too much progress. Especially the real project have some delay but nevertheless there are some horses on my workbench to get some progress this weekend:
Probably you recognise them as some of the Perrys' heavy French cavalry mounts. Currently I#m preparing them for another game of our retreat 1812 game. My idea was to base them with exchangeable metal bases which seems to work rather well. But meanwhile I realized that it isn't actually horse which I don't like to paint. It's Napoleonic horses. Everywhere a strap, a ribbon, a piece of braid and other embellishment. It's so time consuming!
Anyway enjoy your weekend !
They look great Stefan.

Nicely done - I've painted up 52 of the Perry Plastic Heavies and really like the models
ReplyDeleteYour's look a lot better than mine!
Thanks Miles.
DeleteAs always the sculpts Alan and Michael made are excellent, but the tiny shiny details of Napoleonik horse furniture are unnerving to me...
Cheers
Stefan
Good start Stefan. Best of luck with all those little details... I have painted up Nap stuff before and they took the longest time ever... as you say all those straps and details.
