Napoleonic Wars - British regiment of foot

Napoleonic Wars - British regiment of foot
Figures: Victrix, Perry
Scale: 28mm


And here´s another project I started just wanting to try how the hard plastic figures do fit with my style of painting. I got weak again and bought about 5-6 packs of napoleonic figures. I must be crazy.

I hope you all had a good time at christmas and had been able to spend time with your families and also for our hobby.

During my holidays I´ll try to finish some projects I started  a few months ago. It´s horrible. I often start several projects and the daily business takes to much time. After work I seldom have the energy to get into my hobby room to get further with my projects. Thank good the holidays will last until January 8th.

Here is the first project I was able to finish.
As I´m not only interested in painting figures I also like building terrain for my gaming table. So I started to build up some fences suitable for 28mm figures. These fences could be used for AWI, FIW or SYW.


I started with 10 pieces and they surely won´t be the last ones. In fact for I was getting on very easy and fast I just modeled more and now there are another 10 pieces waiting for getting painted.


I always try to finish a single pattern (as I do with my models) to check what it looks like. It took me some time to get the right colors and to put on the green. Being happy with the result I finished the rest of the fences.


And here is what it looks like in "battle".
