The Finish Line Is in Sight. . .

 

Getting very close now to the glossing, adding minor terrain features to the bases,and finally the unofficial flag.  A Saturday evening painting session followed by another on Sunday afternoon.  Must redo the top drum head before addressing the drum chords, and hoops.  And then the touch-ups.  

Not visible here are the tiny metal fixtures on most of the scabbards along with the sword hilts all of which were a huge pain, and I made many mistakes which had to be corrected this (Sunday) afternoon.  Just could not get the old eyes to focus last night, darn it.  And that was before the two glasses of wine upstairs with the Grand Duchess later in the evening.

Still, we're getting very close to calling it a wrap for this batch of figures.  Imperfections aside, they'll do the trick I think.

Gorgeous figures, a lovely finish, girding your loins for the cuirassiers? It's never as bad in reality as I make it in my head, or maybe that's just me!

Great work Stokes!
Thank you gentlemen! Hope to wrap up the basic paint scheme on these in the next few evenings before glossing, and then I can move onto the bases themselves. And then a return to the Saxon cuirassiers. . . Vorwarts!

Kind Regards,

Stokes

Thye look pretty good to me, and that final coat of gloss varnish will lift them even further.
