6mm Napoleonic Commission

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Soon to fly off to Australia, this is the first of many batches of 6mm Napoleonics from a certain Sheffield based company, starting with a French starter set for 1809.

A unit of French line infantry

And this is...
10 units of infantry and three sets of generals


That looks like a huge attack!

Incredibly well done.  I can recall trying to do some Heroic & Ross once and being lucky if I could get three colours on.

So apart from:  natural talent, not sleeping ,  perfect eyesight,  steady hands,  brilliant planning and prep, great care of your brushes and paints and years building up skills, 

How do you turn out so much phenomenally good stuff so quick?   

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

These took me at least 10 days, I hopefully won't need to do any more for a while!

I am going to need 300 ECW horse; any tips on doing them in large numbers?

Some say the Sheffield based company produce 8mm figures, or are at least larger than other 6mm.  How did you find these?  I am matching against H&R foot units [acquired from an online watery auction] so am looking at acquiring the models from H&R as they should be a good size match!

[Does anyone have tanks from Sheffield?  I have read a statement that they are more like 1:200 than 1:300 but have never seen them.  Can anyone comment on what they have observed about this?].

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I stick them on painting sticks, c 10 at a time!
2 are bay, 2 roan, 2 dun, 1 black/white/grey and all the others are Chestnut ( coat d'arms horse tones).
Ink
Highlight
White flashes and socks
Bridle with 00 or smaller brush.
Replace eyeballs!

useful; industrial production line.  I assume that did not try any unit standardisation as was tried for Napoleonic units.
