Austrian Artillery Painted

Image
Just finished painting 9 batteries of Napoleonic Austrian artillery. These are 15mm Warrior Miniatures. I again used a black undercoat technique on both the figures and the guns. It certainly sped the painting up and I love how forgiving it is as you don't have to paint right to the edges. The Warrior Miniature figures don't have the nicely raised features of Essex so I found the white straps a bit of a challenge. Lots of tidying up had to be done to get to something satisfactory for the tabletop.

Austrian Jagers Painted

Just finished painting 48 Austrian Jagers in a single week. A record time (for me). Working from home has allowed me to paint while I'm listening in to Skype meetings! Couldn't do that in the office. These are 15mm Warrior Miniatures.

Austrian Grenadier Units Painted

Just finished painting 4 battalions of Austrian Grenadiers to add to the 17 line infantry battalions already completed since the COVID isolation increased opportunities to paint that pile of lead. The figures are 15mm from Warrior Miniatures. Two battalions are Hungarian and the other two are German.

Total Battle Miniature Buildings

Image
Purchased a number of the Total Battle Miniature 10mm scale buildings and painted them up exactly as per the included instructions. They came up even better than I thought they would. They also fit perfectly in the 60mm hexes.
