From KentG: 28mm Napoleonic French Lancers, Imperial Headquarters & F&IW Civilians (172 points)

Kent keeps on rollin' with more lovely Napoleonics. This time it's a unit of French lancers and the Little-Big-Man himself (with attendant flunkies, er, I mean staff).

From Kent:

I've fired up my paint brushes and well what to you know here we have my next entry.

These are all Front rank miniatures 12 Chevau-lager lancers, once again for my friends collection.

.... and painted up a French Generals Staff set and some children playing (which if I had remembered would have gone into the first Theme challenge) but thats life. Anyway 6 figures, 28mm Perry and 4 figures 25mm cant remember make. This is the second time I've painted this staff set its really quite an enjoyable set to paint.

Wow Kent, you have a very lucky friend! I'm quite envious. Beautiful work once again. I really like the pennants and lance-heads on your lancers - how did you achieve the look Wonderful stuff.

This impressive submission will give Kent 172 points, enough for him to seize first place in the overall standings. Well done Mr. G!

Work in Progress: Austrian 1st Uhlan Regiment 'Schwarzenberg'

Here is a quick work-in-progress post. Something Napoleonic for the grognards out there. These twelve lads have been haunting my paint desk, half done, for nearly four years now. 

From DaveD: 28mm General Colbert of the Lancers of the Imperial Guard (Red Lancers) & Mameluke Standard Bearer (40 points)

Dave submits two beautiful cavalry figures that have benefited from his usual attentive conversions. First is a 28mm Perry casting depicting a wounded General Colbert as he would have been seen on the field at Waterloo. The British casualty at his feet is from the Elite range.

From Dave:

I remade the cords and rackets so they are loose off the czapka , and replaced his sword with something less chunky, and freeed up all the chunks of metal on the casting the reins, behind the scabbard , the saddlecloth etc  - I must be mad you see...- well more just particular!

Indeed! Second, we have a Mameluke eagle bearer in the midst of being unhorsed - poor chap.

This is a 28mm Bicorne model in which Dave has repositioned and has soldered new reins and loops.

These two (with the casualty) will give Dave a base of 23 points but due to his extra conversion work I'm topping it up to 40 points. Lovely stuff, Dave!
