Throwback Thursday! These are some of my earliest stuff as a "serious" painter.

9th Hussars move into action. These are easily around 30 years old. For some reason, I intended to double everything because I was always weirded out by the 1:60 man ratios that Empire required. so this is twice the amount of 9th Hussars I'll ever need and I recall being quite pleased with myself after finishing them. Another thing, the infantry and artillery is fine, but cavalry seems to be too spread out on the requisite sized bases. |

These Dragoons were intended for Iberian operations. I was far less creative with the stones than I am now. Like the 9th Hussars above, this is twice the amount I'll need for this regiment. I also erred in thinking the grenadier in bearskin figure was the officer. There's so much better material out there now than there was when I got to work on these. |
Thanks for looking! Historicals take a holiday for the moment as somehow I got massively distracted by dwarves this week, prepping around 90 of them the last couple days. One thing about much of the fantasy stuff I have is that equipment is fairly minimal so they should be relatively quick to churn out.
Beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray! These have been so carefully packed away for ages, I almost forgot I had them.
