I painted this little vignette this weekend for our groups 1812 Russian Campaign Project. These are all Perry figures. I was quite pleased with the results.
Thanks, Bill

Great photography as well. If your painting in 28mm can stand up to this level of magnification… Well, you should be quite pleased! I'll be honest. What immediately hit me was the basing, even more than the figures. I still do not get that right…I overdo it, I complicate it. The grass and tufts here look……well like grass and tufts and not something from a model railway shop |

To all, thank you for the kind words. Basing is definitely an art, not a science. I wish I could put forth a formula here, but, my overarching theme; "less is more" on basing. I try not to crowd too much on the base to distract from the figures. |

Nice work indeed! I agree about the basing. Looks very good. I think deadhead if you go for dull colors on the tufts, stay away from the bright green leaves etc it looks more realistic. And keep em short!;) my two cents anyway.. |
