Title: 28mm Commission
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 21 February 2021, 10:14:40 PM
A lovely local chap cannot paint any more, so he has asked me to paint items to help finish his collection.
First on the block are 9 fanion bearers for his Napoleonics, hopefully I have done them justice.

Another batch of Tom's figures, which the keen-eyed amoungst you will recognise as figures I have painted preiously. He cannot base up his or my work, and cannot cut straight, so these were returned to me to base up like the others and add the appropriate flags where needed. To be honest, it would have been an absolute joy, if Covid had not turned my brain to mush as I was trying to match flags to poles to bearers! Thankfully, that only lasted a couple of days, and I could happily get on with it after.

Colonial Compagnies de La Marine. Tom built the mound, I prettified it and added poles and flags.

Thats a lot of flags Will  :o


First couple haven't quite worked they've creased a bit, I try to bend the flags whilst they are still a bit wet from the PVA, and also use a paint brush handle or pencil to bend them round a bit. But the others have come out well, so perhaps you do something similar, and were just unlucky with those two.

I take NO credit what so ever for the amazing paint job Tom put in on these 40mm Hinton & Hunt Hussar figures. My role in these is simply basing them up to show off their glory.

Where possible, I tried to save Tom's Hinton & Hunt labels and reattach them to the display bases

More basing up for Tom. 42mm Napoleonics, mostly Hinton Hunt. I can claim no credit for the amazing painting on the figures themselves, which are truely magnificent.

More of Tom's 54mm (not 42 as previously adertised) based up. As ever, I claim no credit for these, except the bases. Bonus points awarded for correct identification of all units.

(https://i.imgur.com/nBgBSvk.jpg)

The figures are fairly randoly picked by me at first, so if you see some that should not go together (like teh Russian foot and French officer later), tough!

Back of them, note the chords (made of fine wire) on the bugle.

Different officers

Tom's detailing on these is so impressive
(https://i.imgur.com/C9CtSoB.jpg)

The drummers weigh a fair amount as those drums are solid metal!

Possibly, 60th foot and a guards officer
(https://i.imgur.com/s3cXn0A.jpg)

I think its 60th as 95th had different trousers?
(https://i.imgur.com/r3PNsCU.jpg)

I can claim a tiny piece of credit on this one, as the hat's headband, flagstaff and socks were not finished.
(https://i.imgur.com/BU2AVA3.jpg)

It's a great figure, the flag feels like (and sounds like) tin to give it stiffness, I'm sure I will be corrected.

Certain his head was here earlier...

Been a while, but Tom has dropped in a new batch for basing and a few fixes.

Again, I claim no credit for the painting on most of these, as Tom's work is outstanding.
