28mm French dismounted dragoons, late 17C.

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!

28mm French dismounted dragoons, late 17C.

Post by chema1986 » Thu Jun 08, 2017 7:21 am

Hello again ! I had some Northstar 1672 French dismounted dragoons laying around, so I decided to make a unit from them... I added a Front Rank officer, and converted a dragoon horse holder from NS 1672 with a cavalry flag pole or whatever is called in English :P from Warlord games plastic ECW range. The flag is from Dragons du Roi.

I painted 60% with Foundry blues and reds, and 40% with Vallejo. Hope you like them!

Superb painting style! Well done, Chema!
The guy with the flagg looks like a pirate :D
Haha, the Dragoon close to the Officer seems to think:
"Man! If he dont shut up soon I gonna shoot him!" :lol:

Cheers,
