It has been a VERY long six months, I started these Piano Wargames figures in December 2025 but life dealt a curveball and they had to be put on hold until April.
I really wanted to do my best as the castings by Lucas Luber are, simply, supurb so I painted the figures mostly, one at a time which also made the project longer. My intention was to try to make each figure an 'individual'. This brings my Bavarian army to completion (I am running out of storage room).
I used these images as my colour guide for the facings etc:

My next project is French Imperial Guard grenadiers:

I hope I can do justice to them.
All the best to all... Chris
Lovely work on some gorgeous figures, nice finish to your Bavarian priject!

Thanks Iain, I had to stop somewhere and there is the Baden army to do.
DeleteBeautiful work Chris. The edging on the shabraque would have tested my patience. I hope life has settled down for you now. We have had grandchild number five arrive making four under eighteen months, so I know a bit about disruption.
ReplyDeleteHi Lawrence, all of these figures tested my patience but the castings are so good I was motivated to do my best. I will say that the shabraques took three attempts.
DeleteFive grandkids, wow, I assume they are in Brisbane? My two grandchildren are in Adelaide which make a quick visit a bit hard, thank goodness for teams! Life is back on an even keel, not restored but more manageable. I still only have a couple of hours a week at my hobby though :-(
Cheers... Chris
Marvelous work on these fine figures, Chris!
ReplyDeleteHigh praise from you Peter, thank you.
