1st pictures of AB and OG napoleonics
Hi all, Here are my first metals - they look a bit better in real life, I'm afraid that my photography skills are worse than my painting skills. I had hoped to produce something as good as Paul or Craig but alas no. The French hussars are by AB (still finishing next two squadrons) and so are the Landwehr. The line infantry are by OG. I'm trying to build up Thielemans III corps. Regards Ken

Very nice, one point though ,with the Hussards maybe don`t put standing/walking horses together with charging horses. Regards,

Looking good. Now what you really need is a blog so we can see bigger pictures! ;) Andy

Looking good Kenny, would be nice to see bigger pics. You asked about my basing sizes. Prussians Infantry I have been basing 8men to a base of 4 bases. 40mm front x 30mm depth. Cavalry 36mm front x 3omm depth 3 to a base. cheers Paul

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind comments. I forgot to mention the fact that I had help with the elite trumpeter - my son who is only nine likes to paint also! Ken :oops:

A wee suggestion
Hi Kenny, If your son can paint like that at 9yrs of age get him working for a living!!! Painting figures to sell on ebay!!! I figure you have say 4 good years of earning before he needs to knuckle down with studying etc... Joke!!! Joke!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Wish I could paint like that at his age, I would have a collection to be proud of (or a bank account to be proud of!) My nephew at 15 is now starting to master the paint brush and my other nephew 12 is getting there too. They enjoy the painting and wargaming so that's the main thing. I didn't know about wargaming at their age just painted my Airfix tanks and figures. Cheers Paul P Scotland

9yrs. old! :shock: That's very impressive and the fact that he likes to paint mini's is great fun for the both of you. :wink:

:) Very nice too!

thanks! Your kind words have pleased him! Regards Ken
