I have started painting some of the British castings, starting with some highlanders. Having now been through the whole contents of the box I had enough figures for 10 Westphalian battalions, two French, three Belgian, three Dutch, two highland and four British. I currently have 11 units on the painting table at various levels of completion, plus an artillery battery.
Here are the latest - highlanders painted up as the Black Watch:
I am very pleased as to how these figures turned out. Some of the British line are equally promising and they should be finished soon. Using the casting kits that I acquired I am experimenting with converting some French to Brunswickers.
Your Prince August restorations are simply brilliant, Bob.
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind; however, I am pleased that I gave it a go as I now have some useful figures.
DeleteThey were in the scrap box?!
ReplyDeleteThey were amongst several hundred poorly painted/half painted Prince August figures. I have had them hanging around for over 20 years and they weigh a ton. I almost scrapped them, until I thought of renovating them to form an 1815 allied army. They scrub up quite well.
DeleteDon't they just! They look great - and, en masse, the armies will look really something!
DeleteI was thinking they don't look like Warrior Highlanders then I remembered they are Prinz August - doh!
ReplyDeleteI am still working on my Warrior collection and have several units on the painting table - mostly cavalry.
