Davids Artillery 1

My brother David has been speeding through his French 15mm figures with the latest on the painting table being these OG French foot artillery.

 

David likes the animated poses of the OG figures for his units.

  

These guys turned out nice but the real gems are the OG guard horse artillery below.

  

I think these are Davids best painted 15mm figures to date?

  

When I was editing the pics I actually thought I was looking at his 28mm Naps as he has guard horse for them too.

     

I always think if you can go in this close and they still look nice then you have done a good job on the painting. I should point out that David painted these figures after a phone conversation as he had no uniform reference material for them in his house at the time so not bad at all.

I haven't stopped painting myself, however I have jumped again!
 
I took a week off for my birthday and as I was free on the Saturday the guys suggested a 15mm Naps game. JP organised the battle and it was planned around a battle on the lead up to Borodino (I think it was Sheverdino? Sorry about spelling). Anyway the allied side was my Russians but I simply didn't have enough so my Prussians had to be enlisted as Russians as well (even my Saxons got a run out as Russians!). We had 7 players and it was great fun with some really side splitting moments (I and 2 others were a little hung over and I forgot my camera). Anyway long story shot is I have jumped back to my Russians (using Army Painter!). Army Painting Russians is simply brilliant, even better than the Saxons. I actually placed the AP'd Russians next to my finished AB unit and I was amazed at how close they look. It looks like I will be doing all my Russian foot with the AP method.
 
Pics to follow when I get a week of work out the way...
