Nice sculpts and a nice paint job. They look like hard fighting veterans. I notice that you have single mounted the figures. Are you going to use them for Sharpe Practice games? |
| DeanMoto | 27 Aug 2009 8:45 p.m. PST |
Der Alte Fritz: Yes, the plan is to use them for Sharp Practice. Initially, I wasn't sure if they should be multi-based or single-based; but figured singles would work best for skirmish games. Thanks all for the kind words. Dean |

This is the problem with this hobby, you start making progress on a project only to see a post like this and all you want to do is drop what you are doing and pull out some Victrix. Absolutely brilliant work well done. |

Brilliant… The more I see of these painted by people, the more I realise I will be doing Napoleonics soon. Lovely work. |

Some of the best French I have seen, individual basing definitely brings out the individual character of each figure more. |

Gents, thank you all for your very kind words. These figures are really nice & at a bargain price. I plan to get another box (or two) & see about converting them to other units/nationalities. And, if I mess them up, it won't break the bank  Regards, Dean |

They look great! Well done on the paint job, very impressive! You have inspired me to get back to work on my boxes of Victrix figs. I just hope that I can do them as well as you have done…fingers crossed! |
