Here's the first six finished. Took a week from start to finish. At this rate it'll be a month and a half till I'm done. Unfortunately I doubt I'll keep up this rate.

They'll be based on a 60x60 base, groups of 8. This is just a rough base I cut, getting some proper ones from Warbases.

they look great! especially as units!!!

One model a day? Good speed... Man, this really wants me buy some Napoleonics

On to the next batch. This is the final two for the 8 figure base. Am switching to 4-figure batches but wanted to round off before I did.

Oh god the pink! I'm trying to bring my highlights closer to white both as a scale effect and because I've noticed lighter coloured miniatures with proper contrast look better at this scale (or larger scales). Look at some of the bigger scale stuff and look really closely at the colours they use, and how many bring things up to white or close to.

Wow, it seems like forever since I posted here. I got caught up in the details of these two. I have to remind myself that it's an army painting job, and not try to get too fancy. The new guys are the ones in the left-most file.

These are looking really good. Great weathering on the pants.

And you call this an army painting job? Impressive.

Wow, the look just fantastic. Of course they can't compete with contest winning miniatures on an one-on-one basis, but as a unit they looks oh so cool.
