The Victrix figures are great, but there are sooooo many parts to glue on. <br /><br />I have mentioned it before but I make a point if only assembling as many figures as I am going to paint next. That way I am only every assembling six foot and three mounted figures at a time. To glue up a whole box at a time would send me to the funny farm...faster than I am already going.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-34916878133230200682018-11-22T12:48:14.136+13:002018-11-22T12:48:14.136+13:00I agree the Perry Chasseurs are very nice, with lo...I agree the Perry Chasseurs are very nice, with lots of options, namy more that the hussars even. It was a bit of a shame that the brigade I chose to do had two regiments with red facings. It would have been nice to get a bit more variety, although there was a small amount of regimental variety in the additional figures.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-91508448303140790022018-11-22T09:32:19.560+13:002018-11-22T09:32:19.560+13:00Splendid...

I do recall quite a few years ago now, when we were running wargames weekends here I painted 24 battalions of 24 figures each of French Line infantry in six weeks. But that was when I was a single man and my eyesight wasn't shot!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-7847478351484054332018-11-21T21:08:33.268+13:002018-11-21T21:08:33.268+13:00Well done Mark, I thought I had done well when I p...Well done Mark, I thought I had done well when I painted up just over 300 plastic Napoleonics,clearly Im just playing at it compared to yourself.Independentwargamesgrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019172667119107650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-76639652367619915212018-11-21T20:50:44.530+13:002018-11-21T20:50:44.530+13:00Most impressive and beautiful cavalry, what a nice...Most impressive and beautiful cavalry, what a nice project!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-77352058709847253322018-11-21T17:47:27.727+13:002018-11-21T17:47:27.727+13:00Thanks!Thanks!Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-74631576570393271112018-11-21T17:46:35.724+13:002018-11-21T17:46:35.724+13:00Thanks Mark.
