French lancers

So I had posted these last year on my workbench and never posted them finished. This regiment was painted after I read an article in wargames illustrated about pink uniforms, overall I think that they painted up quite nicely, the sculpts are OK but they painted up very easy and quick. The figures are from HAT I had to do a little conversion work to make command figures but well worth it. Didn't get anything painted this weekend but wanted to post something.

Anyone out there????

Wow i cant believe that it is been well over a year since my last post, man how time can fly by when work calls.

i have been painting quite a bit over the past year and have finished up some cool stuff from a new brigade of 15mm acw to two whole Lord of the Rings armies.

I painted up this nice John Reynolds stand for my 1st corp.

My wonderful better half also found me some great display cabinets for my man cave, they are wonderful

French 3rd line lancers

 So this is what i have currently been working on at the moment it is the 3rd french line lancers

 i really hate when you get the first half of a unit done and then you really dont want to paint the rest

These cavalry are HAT 1/72 french lancers and they aren't half bad had a little flash to take care of but over all i think that they came out rather well, i was reading one of the recent wargames illustrated and there was a passage about the WSS were they show how to paint an Austrian infantryman, in this article the painter talks about the rare instance to dip into a pot of pink paint. i thought to my self "i dont think i have ever painted anything in pink", well i figured while i am interested in this time period (really wanting to shift back over and finish some civil war stuff) i should try it out, did some research and found that these would be the perfect. plus it finally allows me to have some french light horse because at the moment all i have are heavies.

 hope you enjoy the photos of these great little figs when they are all done i will be sure to post some better shots
