Great Waterloo re fight

Hi Every Bodies

Busy day today I decided to run 3 re fights of Waterloo today, all from a decidedly different angle and what is more I managed to get photo's of each! Not a bad effort for a 24 hour period even if I do say so myself.

So without further ado ............

Straight up historical re fight


 "What if" re fight


Re fight using Black Powder

I have decided to leave the captions blank even though there was so many choices floating around in my tiny mind. I'll make it into a competition of sorts best captions wins...... errr  ........TBA

thanks for looking
regards

aWIP Perry Early mounted High Command cont.

Quick update on how these chaps are looking, not much to say about them at the moment.  The dapple dabbling has been a bit of a pain but I'm not too unhappy for a first effort, I have certainly learned a few things along the way some good, some bad and some just plain infuriating.

Perry AN 1 - Early mounted High Command, in order Archduke Charles and Prince Hohenzollern.

New 7YW figures by WarTime Miniatures

I have just received some 7YW Hanoverians to paint from WarTime Miniatures made here in Brisbane and I thought I might take some mug shots for comparison with other brands, I was mighty impressed and some what surprised.

So for other like minded 18th century junkies (there seems to be plenty of us) and the curious at heart take a look and judge for yourself.  I'm giving them a thumbs up. Not bad for a first effort with the period and no I'm not getting filthy lucre before you ask I offered to paint them gratis! No I'm not getting soft I'm still the same cold hearted bastard deep down, true ☺

Eureka, Wartime and Minden the Eureka figure is on an approx. 1mm base

Front Rank, Wartime and Foundry the FR fig is on an approx. 1mm base

 I'll take some better comparison photo's when I'm more organised and the bench doesn't have quite so much activity on it.  As far as eye-line is concerned I think they will fit the bill and the heft is quite nice. I think that I might just build a few battalions of these when/if time permits

thanks for looking
