This is one of two 15 man bands. The other is in blues and browns. I failed the Dullcote here and probably didn't shake it enough giving a semi satin look. I may hit them again later. |
These were from a previous Dullcote session with an older can and they came out normal. |
Old Glory really has the right idea doing separate heads om the same body. I wish I had one facing down the barrel on this pose (my favorite) but they are still great. |
Just the sound of a Cossack yell would have the French dropping arms and surrendering. I doubt very much they used these axes at right ... |
Firing pistols, my favorite pose! He's actually doing it gangster style with the lock hardware almost on top. Still, high energy and animation. |
They look very good, and as partisans certainly will not look out of period in a Napoleonic game!
ReplyDeleteMany late 17th - early 18th C. illustrations show cavalrymen firing their pistol in the 'gangsta' pose: to prevent the priming powder from falling from the pan?
Very nice figures and very well painted!! Does your mrs know you've pinched some of the Christmas decorations?
ReplyDeleteActually if cossacks yell - French know better than to surrender - fight to the death as they would against Spanish Guerillas
ReplyDeleteI love every single bit about them.
