More figures for my Haitian Revolution project.
These 28 figures are all from Trent Miniatures, now available from Skytrex in the UK.
I've split them into 3 units of 8 plus the 4 command figures. I haven't added the flag yet, as I have a cunning plan in mind.
All the infantry minis come with unattached heads, (Very French Revolution eh?)
So you can add 5 different heads to the same pose and make the figures look very random.
You can see the same pose and a different head in this pic on 3 of the poses.
I think my favourite is the bear headed chap, that's a very useful head. At one time you could buy the bear heads as a separate purchase, but not anymore I'm afraid.
My pal for the flags is this.
As the troops can be used for either pro French or Anti French, I want to have the flags swapable, so I'm looking for a thin round sleeve to glue the flags to and then they can be removed as and when I need to.

The only problem is, I can't find what I need.......yet!
Love the pose of the leader on the right, his face is so expressive!
Anyway 28 figures x 5pts make me....
140 points!
Very nice Ray, keep going mate

DeleteClever way to make them different from each other. Little disturbing, but clever. Well done!

DeleteGreat looking figures to add to the collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rich.
DeleteThe collection keeps growing - have you a target in mind? Like pancerni I was going to suggest brass tubing. Often a model shop perhaps model railways will have some.

I'll have to go on a search, see what I can find, cheers!
DeleteI have enjoyed watching this project take shape.
ReplyDeleteThanks George.
DeleteWow! I shudder to think how long it would take a slow painter like me to get this gorgeous-looking formation tabletop ready, Ray. Excellent work. Truly excellent.
