The 95th rifles make an appearanceThe 95th rifles make an appearance

So i bit the bullet and ordered from brigade games, i got the 95th rifles, Sharpe and Harper and Frederickson. I wanted to surprise the guys at our Waterloo game so am getting these painted pretty quickly. Still a little way to go still.

Very happy with them so far. Lovely models and great fun to paint. Cant praise brigade games them enough, models turned up within a week and im in the UK!

The basics are done, some tidying up but we are there. I have learnt so much doing my Prussians the later troops were definitely easier to paint than the first batch i did.

My attention next will be on some Prussuan Landwher. I love me some Napoleonics!

Inspection at midday Inspection at midday

Still a little bit of work to do on these chaps, the middle one looks a bit like lord flashart from the blackadder series so im going to get him modeled more closely to that character …Woof!.

The bases were done in a rush to get them semi tabletop ready so will be redoing them a little, i also need to finish the horses as they are a bit rough as well.

They should be good enough for the games day we have lined up so once done its onto the next regiment.

I have a perry box of minis primed and partly painted so i will look to base them for sharpe practice.

Rifles to the frontRifles to the front

As part of the black powder day i am bringing some riflemen along, what would a british army be without them.

I found it difficult to bring out the detail in these models as they are generally very dark. Pleased with the result though. I am very tempted to get Sharpe and Harper from brigade games in the US but the import fees are crazy!
