I finished these a while ago, thought I posted them here but must have forgot. One unit of Danes and Schleswig-Holsteiners for 1848 war. Based for Neil Thomas' 19th Century War. I just finished painting another Dane unit and a Danish Jager unit. Once I finish basing them, I will post them up in this thread. Also just started working on some more Schlewsig units.
In smaller scales I prefer cast-on flags, this range doesn't have them so I used heavy tin (from coffee can seals), cut them to size, glued them on and hand painted them. Pleased with how they turned out.

Very nice! 8)
I'm sorry, but I find these sorts of photos very depressing...the reason?
I used to be able to paint like that, but now my eyes are shot and my hands shake so much I have to restrict my figure buying to ranges where I can get away with one all over colour and picking out shoes and weapons and so on.
Note I'm not saying that photos of very nicely painted figures should be banned, NO, I just get a bit wistful about the days of painting the yellow strips on the trousers of 1/284 scale cavalrymen!
Oh well never mind...very nice figures by the way.
Lovely work 8). Looking forward to more pics.
Very nice looking figures indeed! 8)
Great figures, SG. I'm surprised to hear you say you prefer cast-on flags, though. I always found them a pain to paint. :-\
A range that has cast on flags is a range I wouldnt buy
Very nicely done, real pretty
I'd agree with Fenton though, cast on flags are a no-no for me :D
Very nice work that man !!
Cheers - Phil.

I painted the jagers cross straps red instead of black, so please forgive me. Next up are some dragoons and Schleswig jagers as well.....

These things happen, SG. If I had a penny for every time I've painted on a wrong colour I'd have a lot of pennies. Your figures are still very nicely painted.
Hi there very nicely painted
take care

Lovely work.
Had a look at your blog; more lovely work, especially those Blue Moon British Legion!
PS I hope some of my Irish and English will be making their way into your Elizabethan stuff ;)
Really nice work. 8)
Thanks for the kind words. Clib, I am looking forward to your 15mm English from Khurasan! I also plan to buy a bunch of your 10mm LoA range too!
Excellent work. What a fascinating period.
Finished up some more infantry and my first cavalry units.

Colourful little chaps, aren't they. Nice neat painting. 8)
Very impressive work! This is a period I'm just about to embark on and your photos are an inspiration (not that I'll be able to do such a fine job :()
Beautifully done. A fascinating historical conflict as well.
