Project Completed.

 Last night I finished the remaining figures needed to complete my Quatre Bras Project.  The planned battle will take place this weekend so painting all of the figures in time has been a 'near run thing!'.

This batch consists of a battalion of Scots:

Another British Line battalion:

A second Brunswick battalion:

Some Brunswick Lancers (converted from Minifigs S range Austrians):

And a Brunswick battery (converted from really old figures):

It will be good to take a break from painting and get some figures onto the table.

More Ros British

Over the weekend I finished off some more refurbished Ros 25mm British.  The first unit is an infantry battalion in belgic shako:

Also one each of foot and horse artillery:

Just two units to go to finish off the allies.  I am running out of time to be ready for the coming weekend and the French may have to make do with what is already finished in my Ros and Warrior collections.

Brunswick Hussars

Today it was the turn of the Brunswick Hussars to take to the field.  I have been painting in the background for several weeks while I have been working through other projects and finally finished them off last night.

The figures are all Minifigs S range castings and will fit in well with my Ros British.

Dutch Militia and British Light

Finished off this morning are two units.  The first is battalion of Dutch Militia troops.  They are Minifigs S Range Spanish line, paint converted.  Their command is provided by a British Light Infantry officer and standard bear, also S range:

The second unit represents  British Light infantry.  the figures are mostly Ros 25mm with a Minifigs S Range commander and standard bearer:

25mm Minifigs S range Dutch Line Infantry

This morning I finished off a unit of Dutch Line Infantry.  All of these figures are by Minifigs S Range.  I have have had them in my collection for quite a few years so it is good to have them painted up and ready for use on the table:

Ros Figures 25mm French Cuirassiers

The second batch of Ros 25mm French Cuirassiers to be refurbished are now complete. I continue to work through a seemingly endless amount of figures, but progress is being made.

The Collection of Count Goya - Waterloo British Infantry

Count Goya, the prolific collector and painter from north of the border has sent me some pictures of part his wonderful Napoleonic figure collection. These are British infantry form around 1815 and represent most of the British regiments that fought at Waterloo.  I thought I would share some of the pictures. which are  mostly 'old school' Minifigs, Hinton Hunt and Les Higgins examples as pure eye candy. I look forward to seeing more of his armies in the future.

An overview of the British contingent, bearing in mind that the artillery and cavalry are not included here:

The we have some pictures of the various brigades:

Then some closer images of these lovely figures:

Wonderful stuff!
