Hi all

Another blog update, these are the most detailed and the toughest figures I have painted to date and I really hope you guys like them.

I can't think when I last saw that level of detail on anything smaller than a 18/20mm figure. I salute your skills but question your sanity.

(If you ever sell them I want first dibs)

Super job, amazing detail.

That is some fine work Sir

A must see, even if you have no interest in the 6mm scale.

Incredible. I did laugh out loud when I first saw your Young Guard with the buttons on their cuffs and similar detail in 6mm.

Even they did not approach the lancers. The double stripe on the overalls, the shabraque ornamentation, the chzapkas…….incredible work. As said above enthusiasts for any scale should look at these and be inspired.

I've just been back for a second look….you simply have to see these. You've even managed the silver buttons on the plastron front of the coat….the lapels!

For the bean and button counters…… Silver trumpet for Polish Lancers of Guard. Pole for eagle always blue (almost Space Marines Blue if using GW)

Thanks deadhead consider those items corrected, well they will be later the main reason I post on here is for corrections so my figures are as historically accurate as possible,as I will be using my blog hopefully as reference for many years to come and you have helped me more then once with my lack of knowledge in this area

Cheers

Okay Richard, you clearly crossed the line here into "master painter". Your work is outstanding and I applaud your efforts. I've painted Adler cavalry and even a basic job is challenging. Fantastic, keep em coming.

Best regards,

Glenn
