Recently Painted No 33 French Napoleonic Generals


After the horde of Russian infantry I painted up for Postie, he very kindly gave me more Napoleonics to paint up!! This time the figures were French Generals and an assorted bunch of leftover figures that I had to paint up in various French uniforms, basically to use as Aid de Camps. They took ages to paint up, as each figure was a separate unit. However they were fun to paint instead of all that rotten Russian green!!!! Most of the figures are from Essex, with the odd AB or Old Glory (I think).
Also I've just been gluing up some of the 18th century wagons I bought at Salute, Mr Magister Militum has got his own back on me after I nearly tramples him to death on Sunday. One of the wagon packs I bought has the wrong wheels, solid not spoked, its not the end of the world, I'm sure they would still have been found in America during the FIW, but its not what I wanted..............anyway back to the painting!!!!

  4. 15mm is a killer on the eyes when painting.... I'd better get some more done before old age sets in.

    Nice painting mate. They look very impressive.

  6. Ray, when I first got to the page, I saw the word "French" my brain went into Rugby mode and I almost spit on my computer screen.Then I got over it and looked at the pictures. That's a lot of work. You have to do the horses, the men and the weapons. How long did it take you to do all of those?

  10. Those look great! To achieve similar results I'd have to buy a lighted Optivisor, top of the line brushes, and then hire someone extremely talented to paint them.

  14. Very fine work, Ray; quite a variety of different types, too. I can see why they took a long time to do.
