From KentG: 28mm Napoleonic cavalry and 40mm musketeers (261pts)

 Here we are again this week has been a busy one
I did two 11 hour days along with painting every other night 3-4 hours
most of the time was spent on doing fine details on the two regiments
 of cavalry, which I must admit I am very very happy with

These fellas are 28mm Perry Miniatures painted as 

Polish guard lancers, the Pennants once again are from 

the free download that you can get from Piano wargames

then painted in the correct colors, it sure does make life a little easier

I tried to use a three different ways of using white on these guys

brown base on plumes and lace, blue base fore the gloves and on the

 belt actually used white as the final layer

had fun painting the leopard skin on the commander

I wasn't sure if I was going to do the fiddly work on the 

saddle blankets but was then how can I not after spending 

so much time on the rest

These fine young gentlemen are 

1st Reg French Chasseur's a Cheval

I started painting these and another 76 cavalry on day one

I have just 12 cavalry to go and I will need to undercoat some more so 

I better get gluing figures

it was so much fun painting the cords around the trumpet

and the lace work on the guy, when it all came together

I'm sure I had a wee grin on my face

Lastly I manage to complete 3 more 40mm figures from the 

Musketeers set I have, just two more figures to start then the 

tables and chairs and stuff and that's all completed

They really are fun figures if not a little clumsy being sold metals

and seem to tip over unless secured to the base

I might end up putting magnets in them.

There’s a couple of pictures of the Napoleonic French cavalry 

That I’ve painted in this challenge. 66 cavalry figures so far.

                Points

               12 x 28mm Polish Cavalry 120 Pts

                12 x 28mm French Cavalry 120 Pts

                 3 x 40mm foot    21pts

                For a grand total of 261pts

From Millsy: You've pushed all my Napoleonic buttons with this post Kent. French? Check! Cavalry? Check! Lancers? Check! Absolutely beautiful work as always mate, especially the Poles who are one of my favourite units of the period. Congrats on producing such a wonderful collection of troops. Please tell me you won't just sell them all now!

From BruceR 28mm Polish Line Light Horse Lancers (90 pts)

Work has kicked up slowing the painting process.

 Here are my French allies for my Sharp Practice 2 force.  After a lockdown Brunswick challenge earlier in the year my British allies received cavalry I needed to do the same for the French.  We traveled to the Twin cities for a bolt action smashup in late 2019 and this was one of the prizes and I snapped them up having more WW2 than needed.  

The miniatures are Warlord Games and plastic with metal heads with czapka.  I've used a slightly lighter blue for table appeal.  My aversion to plastic remains.  The figures require more highlighting so more time.  I paint horses separate from the riders and this keeps me  from hating the horses too much.  Airbrush, Army Painter wash, highlight and done.  

This is my second submission of cavalry and without the airbrush would not happen.  Also living in the great white north the ability to prime and basecoat in doors (with a hood) keeps painting running.  

Excited to pounce on some green jacketed rifles.  

Don't look now, but more primed horses in the back ground.  Some Gaulish nobles?  Maybe get to them for Infamy Infamy.

I love the character of Sharp Practice leaders so dubbed him Lt. Theodore (Teddy) Taszarek after my spouses maiden name and father.  I thought about grabbing the ancestor room, but have another thought on that theme.  

Hmm, are these from Bob Murch as they have mustaches to rival the Movember figures I've submitted and intend to paint/submit.  

So, 9 x 10 = 90 pts.

Thanks all.
