I have finally finished the figure. I do my painting in the garage and this time of year it is HOT and humid. I have an overhead fan but the sweat still runs into my eyes while I am concentrating, not good while doing fine detail. I thought I would mention this for my northern hemisphere modellers who are struggling with the cold. At least I can jump in the pool when I get overheated 🥵

Next Project
Is a 75mm Hinchliffe French line grenadier 1807 (thanks to Tradition of London/Sweden for continuing to stock these figures). It will be a nice break from wargame sized figures.
Nice choice!
ReplyDeleteI remember these. I must go back and have another look as it looks like it would be a fun change of pace.
ReplyDeleteHe looks excellent, I hope it's cooled down enough to paint no!
