Astute readers, who have been paying attention and read my post about the Voltigeurs, will know that this is the First battalion of the regiment because it carries an all red fanion.

Next in the queue is another Voltigeur battalion, I am trying to alternate unit types to get some variety.
Very nice
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil.
DeleteWooow! Another great minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal. They are great miniatures to work on.
DeleteWonderful work there Mark, with the red working well and well done on being able to paint the eyes too, something I remember I could do as a teenager, but no chance now with my shaky hands!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I must admit that I have not bothered with eyes in figures in the past, but these are such nice pieces that I couldn't not try. Plus I have new magnifying lenses to help. Nonetheless there are a number of figures in these battalions that have the Betty Turpin look!
DeleteLovely work Mark, they look great and those miniatures are as good as I have seen, really impressed by them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. They are some of the most detailed historical figures I have ever worked on..
DeleteWow, I only just noticed on the last couple of pics that you have even painted the eyes on these Mark - something I recall you saying you have not done for 30+ years! (I see you have commented on this above to Steve...)
ReplyDeleteYes the figures are so nice that I decided to make the effort, even though a few come out cross-eyed.
DeleteIndeed! Another stunning battalion. Your painting and modelling output is impressive.
ReplyDeleteKind Saturday Regards,

Thanks Stokes.
DeleteGreat work again Mark. Are these still 3D prints? Were they already cleaned up when you got them, and are the nice and sturdy around the ankles and bayonets etc.? They look like they are.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. Yes they are 3D prints and were cleaned...there were a few supports, but they broke away easily. The weapons and bayonets I am sure will be prone to damage..the resin does have flex, but I have broken a few. Mind you, i have broken a few plastic bayonets and rifles too by bas handling. Thankfully the resin takes superglue really well and I have plenty of spare Perry arms with rifles that can be used for repairs if needed. I have also taken care when basing the figures to protect those more prone to damage.
DeleteWonderful work again Mark and you are certainly painting them very quickly. I hope we get an army parade when they are complete.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ben. These are taking a little longer than normal. I typically work on three mounted or six foot figures a day and I complete them in three hours, in two sessions. But these are taking four to five hours. They are certainly looking impressive in their tray.
