Title: Louis XIV in progress
Post by: Aksu on 15 May 2016, 04:12:56 PM
Hullo,
A snap of regiments Brie and Beaujolais almost ready for basing. I realised trying to paint 64 figs in a batch is a bad idea even if the uniforms are almost the same. A single refiment of 32 figs suits my style much better.

Thanks Ithoriel, embarassing that you were able to fix it faster than me. Stupid cybernet-thingies acting up on me ;)

Beautifully painted LOA figures.   I suspect the pikes might be
'entertaining' to base up though !

Easily done Aksu, the forum doesn't exactly make it easy!

I'm glad in turn that you posted a second time and didn't just fix the link in the original post, leaving people wondering what on earth I was doing when I posted :)

Really nice stuff - manage to make them look far bigger than 10mm.

32 is the same as my regiments - I got used to painting 3 of those at a time with my Napoleonics, it's a challenge  :D

Don't worry about imbedded images - no matter how many attempts I make, or how many "how to" threads I check I still cannot get pictures from Flickr to embed  :(
