15mm French Napoleonic army update, Old Glory & Battle Honors

Hi All
2nd video for you tube. Again budget was no object lol. I have only used my iPad so it's a bit grainy.
Bases sizes are the same as my British. I really enjoyed painting the British infantry but the French became boring, hence the great coats to speed things up. I hope you enjoy.
Thanks for looking

15mm British Napoleonic army update, Old Glory & Blue Moon

Hi all.
I wanted to post my first YouTube video. A Napoleonic British army update. Minis are from Old Glory and Blue Moon. I have based them on MDF bases from Products for Wargamers, very reasonable priced. The bases are roughly the same as Napoleon at War. I haven't played NaW yet but the figures look good on them and it allows space for some flock.
I am currently looking for suitable flags, if you have any ideas please let me know.
Base sizes are as follows:
Skirmish 30mm x 15mm
Standard 25mm x 30mm
Large 45mm x 40mm
Thanks for looking

Hobby Boss 1/48 Easy 8 sherman tank for Bolt Action

Hi all
I thought I would add a couple of pics of the Hooby Boss 1/48 easy 8 sherman.
I know it was discussed on the weekender. Apparently it's one of the best hobby boss kits for a sherman tank. I picked it up for £10, it was ok to put together but it still had quite a few parts. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners tbh. The main issue is scale, I will let the pics speak for themselves.
 Rubber tracks! I will have to beat them together.
Compared to a resin Warlord Games Panther. The sherman looks to big to me?

Compared to a warlord Brit, here the scale looks ok.

I hope this has been helpful.

Blue Moon British Heavy Dragoon 15mm

Another update, this time a British Heavy Dragoon. I am really happy with the Blue Moon cavalry. Very little flash and loads of clear detail. A joy to paint, that's why I purchased 36 of them lol

Napoleonic update, 3 more Old Glory battalions

Hi all
Just finished another 3 battalions. 2 British & 1 French. Minis are old glory 
Bases are MDF 25mm X 30mm from Products for Wargamers.
I fix them with my normal bases mix. I will leave them to dry then add GW texture paint and finally some flock.
That's 9 British battalions and 3 French.

15mm Old Glory Highlanders


A Scottish update. I just need to complete the red pattern on their socks and heads. I will give them a quick wash then highlight. I am quite happy with the tarten for 15mm figs.

15mm Blue Moon Napoleonic British Heavy Dragoons

Hi All
Some more figures done, this time blue moon 15mm Napoleonic british heavy dragoons.
I would first like to say I am really happy with the quality of thses figures. Great detail and a real pleasure to paint. Much better horses than battle honors or old glory. Sadly the same cannot be said for their infantry, the sculpts are nice but loads of chunky flash around the right hand connecting to the entire backside of the infantry figures.
But lets focus on the good stuff
I purchased 1 command pack and 2 troop packs to give me 36 figures totalling 3 regiments. Based on 45mm x 40mm bases 
A comparison shot with the infantry. I will get these flocked as soon as my flock applicator arrives.
I hope you like them.
