FredG Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I was waiting for paint and glue to dry so out came the files and I started preparing another Newline set.These fellows look very dashing but that's a tease as I'm only posting the horses for now. That shows where they're from anyway Edited January 16, 2018 by FredG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) The Dragoons have now been well and truly impaled. Another great set of figures. More detail when primed. Edited January 16, 2018 by FredG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Very nice start. I wasn't aware you could get Napoleonics in 20mm, all the ones I have are 28mm (and mainly plastic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 20mm, 1/76 and 1/72 Napoleonics have been around for many many years Andrew. My first set was the Airfix HO/OO(1/76) French Cuirassiers in 1971 Onward with the Heavy Dragoons. I painted them Mocha and then coated with a semi-diluted black ink. I now have a varied set of brown to brown-black horses which is where I was aiming. The shiny bits are still wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 More work to the horses. The manes, tails and hooves have been further darkened. Harnesses applied and a sepia wash. I've got the effect I wanted so I'm happy with the bodies. Then just for a bit of fun I saddled them up and added a little more colour to three of them. More red added to tunics.

FredG Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 The horses are done. I also gave the Dragoons a coat of grey on their breeches so they still look exactly the same as yesterday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 They're starting to look a little more like Dragoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Still moving on with these. They have weapons now and I've started on facings so not much longer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
