I can scarcely believe that another week has shot by. Nevertheless, time was somehow found for painting and I'm pleased to report that the dreaded cuirassiers are finally nearing completion.
Once again, it's really only the metallics and a few gauntlets and what not left to do, so I'm full of confidence that they'll be finished by next week.
Mind you, these have been an absolute curse so far, so anything could happen....
Yours, fingers crossed,
WM
Coming along a treat Matt :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, 'Lee. I really need to be shot of these....
DeleteThese are looking great Matthew, not an easy figure to bring to life but your doing just that!
ReplyDeleteI think part of the problem with these was that I'd convinced myself they were just ugly figures, but I'm finally coming round to a more positive view!
DeleteThey are looking rather nice Matthew...
ReplyDeleteYou can almost hear the thunder of hooves on the other side of the hill... I had better form a square 😱
All the best. Aly
Cheers Aly. I'll line 'em up against the 73rd when they're finished and we'll see what happens!
DeleteEven in their incomplete state, it is easy to tell what fine fellows these will be. Get cracking!
ReplyDeleteI have been cracking, David, that's the whole problem!
DeleteHah! Nice one! I'm just impatient to see them in their all encompassing magnificence.
DeleteI think they look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a bind at the moment but think of all the plus modifiers they will get when they are finally deployed on the battlefield!
My enemies (yes, that's you JC and DF) are already quaking in their boots, Matt.
DeletePlease forgive my premature adulation, but they look fantastic already. Isn't it odd how the completion of just one or two smaller parts will suddenly make a group of figures come magically to life?
ReplyDeleteBest Regards,
Stokes
Thank you Stokes. Yes, it is odd, and it took a punishingly long time to achieve that with these particular perishers.
DeleteThey look rather spiffing.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on doing some more Cavalry myself. I have a unit of relatively simple Prussian Dragoons and far more complex French Guard Lancers in mind. I also have a unit of recast French Cuirassier in my to do pile.
Cheers Mark. I'm also rather fixated on Dragoons of one sort or another at the moment, so there may well be some appearing at this end too in the nearish future!
DeleteComing along beautifully Matt!
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Nearly there James!
