John

Sculpting

I've actually been quite busy recently on the hobby side of things, but not been posting much here as I've been on the "A Military Gentleman" forum. This is a forum for those who've bought John Ray's fantastic book of the same name. If you haven't got it I would strongly recommend it, if you love beautifully sculpted miniatures, great painting and lots and lots of atmospheric photos of the same then buy it now. Best single purchase I've ever made in the hobby.

Anyway, I've been sculpting some figures to sit alongside the Richard Ansell style "Minden" and "Crann Tara" ranges.

My most recent sculpts are some Fusiliers de la Morliere from the 1740's period, here's some photos

Skirmishers

Just a couple of companies of French Skirmishers that I sort of "speed painted" a wee while ago. The French are just about there now and ready for some gaming .....

Distracted

I've been off the Napoleonics for a while (sort of) and have been working on some late eighteenth century stuff in recent months. The figures are actually Elite Napoleonic Saxons, so some Napoleonic connection!

Not a lot of sculpting with these, a few conversions and the like.

More Artillery

Been gradually plugging away recently adding in all the bits and bobs needed to put together a couple of French Corps. This is the latest addition a French battery, all Connoisseur with a few tweaks here and there to make the unit a bit more interesting.

Next up some French Skirmishers

Command Stand and ADC

Latest additions to command the steadily growing French troops. A small vignette featuring a colonel from the 4th Hussars and an escort. Colonel, I think is a Willie figure, escort a Connoisseur guard chasseur. Horses are Foremost and Elite respectively.

And to carry the orders, a Connoisseur ADC and horse

Legion du Midi

Been back to painting Napoleonics recently, and this is the latest completed unit. The Legion du Midi, from Piedmont in Italy.

All the figures are Connoisseur (apart form the Horse which is a Foremost). A few tweaks here and there just to give the unit a bit more variety and minor alterations to the uniforms (epaulets and carrot shaped pompom)
