Hi,
heres my latest work.

A unit of 38 Riflemen from the 95th rifles. Figures are 28mm and are from Foundry ,Companion Miniatures and Front Rank.

Based on 8 2" by 2" bases and 6 single figures.

Also a bit of an experiment with lighting and camera settings.

First time I've done a Naps unit so big and I've learned a few lessons for the future. So heres the pics. Sorry about the width on the first two but I wanted a group pic with and with out skirmishers.

All comments, good or bad welcome.

Very nice Gary! Good to see you are moving further and further from the Dark Side

Where did you get the 95s?? Either your hand was clamped in a vice at the time of painting or it's a decal

Hi,
thanks. Alas they are transfers. Have a look at

The transfer sheet has numbering for the 95th and 60th rifles.

Really nice work. Did you have a favourite out of the different manufacturers?

Hi,
the figures were all supplied loose by the customer so I have no idea what was what.

I did like the Tom Plunket figure the most. The sergeants were also good to paint.

Whooo that is a lot of miniatures.... really nice unit that one, but with a unit that big you would need my whole basement to get a good game! Well executed Gazza. I like the way you paint the faces and hands they look very real.

I particularly like the faces. Excellent work.
