Starting on the Allies

 Just a short update before the month ends, I have been quite busy hobby wise but haven’t got round too taking photos mainly a mind set thing as I now have a blood clot in my left leg, don’t know where that little blighter came from! In addition the GP sys I have arthritis in right knee and hip although I’m arguing with him about that but at the moment he won’t send me for a scan ! 

So enough moaning and a few pics of some of the Brits I’ve done for the QB project, I know the Scots Greys weren’t at Quatre Bras but you have to have them.






The light troops and rifles are all 3D prints, a little fragile but as this project is solo it will only be my fault if I break them! 
I actually found the British line easier and quicker to paint than the French - more uniform I guess.
The Warlord Epic range doesn’t include figures for any of the allies now whilst the majority can be done through paint conversions it’s nice to have some correct pieces. 
MC miniatures on Wargaming 3D provide a huge range of files for Napoleonic, SYW and ACW initially in 28 he has now started converting them into epic scale and in strips of five figures so half an epic strip.
A colleague is printing me some Dutch line - the pics are of the figures straight off the printer and they haven’t been cleaned up but I know they will fit well.


I have some more files for militia, Brunswick and Belgian jaegers, so looking forward to getting these and painting them up.

Keep safe everyone and happy gaming.

Ooh you have been in the wars lately mate - and not just in a wargamey way. Lovely little figures you’ve got there, especially the greys…and was that Mr Sharp I saw in there as well? Hope you feel better soon!

JBM good to hear from you. Yes indeed what’s a British Napoleonic army without Mr Sharp! Hope your project(s) are moving along.

Your Brits are taking shape nicely and they look lovely, great work on them. The computer prints look the part and should add to your collection. You can get so much through 3d printing now it's a real game changer.

Great looking figures Graham and really looking forward to seeing how the 3D prints paint up.

Sorry to hear about the blood clot, hope it's treated quickly for you.

You've done a grand job on those epic figures Graham.
Hope the health issues get sorted out!
Best wishes,

Sorry to hear about your health issues mate…
Can you get a blood clot from not drinking enough good whisky 😳
That bu@@er Sharp gets everywhere… I bet that four man stand is worth a French Division in the rules 😂

All the best. Aly
