Hi Folks

I gave it a go. Checkout commandpostproductions.co under the workbench page. I painted some Russian Musketeers, based for Napoleon's Battles.

Look good to me. The idea of painting Nappy uniforms in 28mm leaves me cold let alone 15mm. You keep the rest to that standard you'll have a fine looking army indeed.

That's your first attempt? Really well done! For any attempt! Like!

They are nice, especially considering they're your first attempt at Nappys.

Now only another thousand to go. ;-)

Yep, you're well on your way to retirement. Nice job.

Thanks for the kind remarks. Though they are my first attempt at 15mm and Napoleonics, I have been painting 1/72 scale figures for years. I must confess my eyes hurt!

Really nice Dave,
My buddy has just jumped into Naps too.
Looking forward to the artillery!
Cheers

Those look very nice! I am new into Napoleonic painting as well. I have been in the 15mm gaming for a while with Flames of War, but 15mm Napoleonics is something of a different beast! So many colors and detail rich minis.

One thing that really helped me (even with my 26 year old 20/20 vision eyes) is that I purchased an LED lamp with a magnifying lens on it. The lens helps to magnify the detail and if nothing else, the clean white light helps me see the detail so i know where to paint. Highly recommended!

I'm pretty much down to magnifing head wear to paint, didn't have to even 10 years ago.

I am working on a second batch of 12 figures to finish the 2nd brigade. 12 is a much easier number to work with without getting frustrated. What batch sizes do you all use?

Thanks
