Irkutsk DR - 1812 Napoleonics

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Irkutsk DR - 1812 Napoleonics

Post by Greystreak » Sat Jul 16, 2011 2:17 pm

Following an interlude of several months, painting in support of a club project, I'm back with my Napoleonic 1812 Russians, and have recently completed the Irkutsk Dragoon Regiment. They are the usual figures, paints, basing, flags, and come with the usual apologies for dodgy 'focus' in some shots. The standard bearer has been converted from another figure to add variety, and some alternative horse colours are on show. Comments and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Excellent as always.

I'll be starting my first Napoleonic horse unit shortly, hope they turn out half as good!

Wholly defective. You must post them to me immediately for "quality control purposes."

Seriously though, you do great work.

Bryce,

Bugger! Just as I'm about to start my first regiment of French dragoons you go and raise the bar. Beautiful work.

Regards,

Jim
