A lovely chap cannot paint any more, so he has asked me to paint items to help finish his collection.
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.
A pair of Napoleons
An Ottoman with a 'Jingaling Johnny'.
I painted the 'Jingaling Johnny', hatband, the metalwork and weapons on this.
The horse is lovely (Hello Father Ted)
An Hussar musician, I painted reins and the base on this one.
The details are extraordinary
The pva was still wet on the shrubbery, as I needed to drop these off with Tom.
Great display case he has too

More of Tom's 54mm (not 42 as previously advertised) based up.
As ever, I claim no credit for these, except the bases. Bonus points
awarded for correct identification of all units (points will be awarded to all those who send their entries on a stamped addressed enelope...).
The figures are fairly randoly picked by me at first, so if you see some that should not go together (like the Russian foot and French officer later), tough!
Told you...
Lancers with a friend
Hussars
Back of them, note the chords (made of fine wire) on the bugle.
Different officers
Tom's detailing on these is so impressive
The drummers weigh a fair amount as those drums are solid metal!
The halbard is cool
Good mix here
Strong characters
Officers
These figures are just lovely
I did strenghten the sword after
The whip is so fine
Thos chap ended up on his own, hope he was not lonely.
Love the details, Tom has done an amazing job on these.
British foot
Again, check those chords on the trumpeteer!
Possibly, 60th foot and a guards officer
I think its 60th as 95th had different trousers?
I can claim a tiny piece of credit on this one, as the hat's headband, flagstaff and socks were not finished.
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...
More
basing up for Tom. 54mm Napoleonics, mostly Hinton Hunt. I can claim no
credit for the amazing painting on the figures themselves, which are
truely magnificent.The figures are fairly randoly picked by me at first, so if you see some that should not go together (like the Russian foot and French officer later), tough!

Funny how the poses work out
Some uniform diversity here
The two on the left are paid less than the other two!
Some heavies and gun crews
Back of them
Did not purposily group by colour, honest!
Looking good
Charge!

I take NO credit what so ever for the amazing paint job Tom put in on
these 54mm 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
They really are magnificent
Mixed bag for Tom this time, which finishes* off most of the 7YW for him.

British Artificers

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.
They look splendid now.

A bit shaky, sorry
Royal Corse, Rouergue, Royal Ecosse and Royal Barrois
