Beautiful
Now stop it!
Very nice =D> =D> =D> :-bd
Not bad, I suppose. ;)
Storming work, Kev ! =D> =D> =D>

Very nice. Bright colours on a black undercoat is the way forward...whichever period you do.

Ditto that!
My Austrians are now hiding in shame - not from fear of the French but from your brush!
yes STOP IT :D
ok the quality I get, which is amazing, but its how you turn them out so quickly! You'll knock out the whole Napoleonic range and in the same time I'll paint 3 tanks.
I don't think you sleep....
lovely work :x
Great work!!! :-bd :-bd The blue on the Hungarian trousers really pops!!
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd
after English and French, yet wonderful achievements with Austrian ........... I'm definitely a fan of your styl Kev !!!
congratulations!!

Thank's for all the comments chap's, these have been fun to paint. If you paint five days a week Matt you soon get on a roll, the hardest part of the job for me is choosing colours for something i have not painted before. I have recently painted some 6mm WW11 vehicles and it's taken me longer to paint 6 of these than 60 10mm figs ;D.
kev
Superb painting as always. I must admit I like the Austrians with their white & blue attire rather than the dull grey of a few years later.
Last of the troops and commanders.

Like Will said......"Stop it ! ;)
Awesomely good, Kev. =D> =D> =D>
Cheers - Phil
Superb as ever :-bd
Trouble is you post this just as I'm finishing my Austrians up, well I felt good about them for a day or two beforehand :'(
Marvellous artwork, sir! =D>
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd
Just lovely
Take care
Andy
Gorgeous!
I'm still resisting starting Napoleonics in 10mm....but you sure aint making it easy dammit. superb stuff again
They are fantastic. What base size are you using for the single infantry and cavalry? I'm toying with a couple of figures based for skirmish games and the proportions on yours work very well (overlooking the dodgy painting of course ;)).
Thank's chaps. The foot are on 10x10 and mounted are 20x10 Mostyn.

Actually we keep praising when we should be helping Kev to raise the bar, for instance:
why no lace on the grenadier bearskin patches?
why no lace trim on cavalry valises?
why no multiple lace panels and embroidery on shabraques?
why do the uhlan pennons not have the second thin yellow on black stripe? (yes I know it's a variant but that's our excuse not Kev's :D)
Oh and surely the Hungarian Blue is too light, most illustrations show it considerably darker - it surprised me when I checked for my own painting as I was going to go with a similar pale colour.
And lastly Austrian guns had all black fittings - no bronze barrels :-\
None of which takes away from the [depressingly] high quality of the workmanship you understand 8)
All meant in good spirit of course but let's see if we can't improve Kev's school report a bit :D
Thank you sir, the fittings on the guns are black with bare steel ware and tear showing through ;D ;D, i have no excuse for the barrels and other mistakes though ;D.
I promise to try harder on my next efforts ;D.
kev
Yes.....You should try a lot harder ! ;)
Cheers - Mr Jealous. :P
Good show, we'll be keeping score for the sidelines ;D
In fairness to Kev, we didn't ask for complete historical accuracy on these, we just wanted an excellent paintjob that shows off the figure as best it can. Researching some of the finer details can take longer than the painting does, so as long as the basics are right, the French are in blue, Brits are in red, etc then that's fine with us. Getting a shade of blue which can survive being photo'd, edited and then displayed accurately on a website photo will always be difficult!
In fairness to Kev, I don't think any of us are seriously suggesting these are anything other than brilliant :)
Lets face it, old fogeys though some of us are, none of us is old enough to be able to swear the Austrians never fielded a gun with a brass barrel whatever the regulations may have said!
I was being very tongue in cheek - I'd hoped that was obvious! :O)
And I completely agree that getting the basic impression correct is the important bit and no-one's going to argue over the quality :'(
Having just finished up (well all but the final highlights but I have to down tools and sit with the family from 20:00) two regiments of Austrian uhlans I'm even more impressed with Kev's results - those czapkas are a right bu**er. The horizontal lance pose is fine but the vertical! Crikey it's confusing! :o
Kev they are AWESOME :D =D> =D> =D> =D>
Stunning !
Oh my. Those are stunning 8) 8) 8) 8)
Love your work... Any reason why you have based them on single bases?
So Leon can pop them in the main catalogue?

Yep, these are for our website pics, so all single bases so I can photo them easily.
