Risorgimento Continued (Neapolitan Bourbons)...

[streetgang]

With the release of FIW5 (Piedmont Infantry from 1859), I decided to use these figures as my Neapolitan Bourbons for the Risorgimento. Not perfect but look good enough (IMO) at 10mm. Also painted up some Austrian Uhlans as Neapolitan lancers:

Those are lovely!
My chances in the painting competition diminish by the day!

[Leman]

Very nice. The infantry are excellent.

Looking very nice indeed, Streetgang.
Cheers - Phil.

Those are really, really, great. I hate you already

[Steve J]

Love the infantry, but the cavalry aren't bad either.

[Leman]

I think the cavalry are probably better than they look as they are a bit out of focus. It's a problem I have with a lot of my shots.

[Subedai]

They are rather tasty. The black edge of the base is a nice touch.

Lovely! I forsee a new project rearing up if I can convince my bank account I can have some

[Leman]

I definitely need some, but foe what they are so I can fight bits of Solferino.

With figures as small as 10mm you have the double challenge of painting such a small thing well, then taking a decent photo of a small thing.

With the cavalry it looks like troopers on the second base have been picked by the auto-focus - which unfortunately leaves the fore-ground ones out of focus. The infantry photo has come out lovely with the figures in the middle crisp and just the hint of blurring on the closest and furthest ones as they are at the limit of the depth of field (but in some ways this helps as it focuses the eye to the centre).
