I hope this works! My first 10mm figures ever:

French infantry for the FPW.

Fittingly.

Bazaine.

Great figures, Bazaine. I particularly like the eagle colour. Do try to avoid Metz, though....  ;)

Very nice. The light coloured base makes the figures stand out.

Dear M Bazaine,

Some of us have been painting 10mm figures for a while. Do you think that in for the sake of the steeped longer, yet not as proficient in these arts, you could perhaps show a little consideration? Do you not feel that it behooves you to make a few mistakes to not show us up? A few buttons painted in the wrong colour? A missed cuff? An abherrant splodge of flesh on a trouser leg?

*through gritted teeth* These are lovely figures. Very good for a first try. Keep at it and you'll get better.

:P

I'm with FSN, I call foul! 

You are not allowed to post your first 10mm figures if they look 10 times better than mine, and I've been painting for several years now!  ;)

Seriously, those are beautiful, and the danger for me in seeing beautiful figures in a period I currently don't have is that they make me want to get into that period, so this is a double whammy!  Good stuff, can't wait to see more.

V/R,
Jack

Title: FPW French - Updated
Post by: FA Bazaine on 25 March 2014, 08:31:07 PM
Well I have now added a few more and rebased them. Results are here:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e20/fabazaineBazaine/008_zps0d0efa96.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/fabazaineBazaine/media/008_zps0d0efa96.jpg.html)

The reasons for rebasing are simple, the painting competition figures were really inspiring, plus I have just found out my favourite rule system (Fire & Fury) are bringing out a 19th Century European wars variant I had to go with them.

Hope you like the new look. Currently working on some ACW Confederates as well as the FPW.

Excellent, FAB. I can't believe you went to the trouble of re-basing them though.  :o

Brilliant work

Thanks for the F&F news. Fortunately I have rebased for that system.
