Here is a painting trial, of a Saxe-Weilenz grenadier for the NQSYW. S-W has been my proposed opposing force army since 1996; this is the first SW figure I've actually painted.
That does end up looking a little orange in that hot, but it is a Vallejo scarlet...
It is a Meisterzinn casting, but he's possibly going to end up standing in as the sergeant in a company otherwise consisting of marching Prince August grenadiers, if I think they mix. Otherwise, it'll take a while to get a whole unit cast; another difficult mold.
I post a little about my ongoing projects, recent games, how I got to where I am, and where I'm going, as time away from the workbench, and a somewhat busy life, permits. I'll try to keep cooking and ballroom dance down to a minimum, but they do seem to take up a lot of time.
This is my really short, no explanation included, list of projects: 54mm Medieval Mayhem (skirmish), 40mm French and Indian War, 40mm NQSYW, 40mm Renaissance, 25mm Dark Ages (Saxons and Vikings), 25mm Historical Arthurian, 25mm Fantasy, 1/72 scale Bronze Age, 1/72 scale 2nd Punic War, 1/72 scale fantasy (Portable Fantasy Campaign), 6mm Ancients (travel DBA), 6mm Fantasy (travel HotT), 6mm Spanish Civil War.
He looks quite good. Meisterzinn mold?
ReplyDeleteThe grey makes for a nice neutral opponent for SB.
hmm Apparantly I am actually a robot, must try again to fool it.
I like it. I have always liked the way that a light grey shows up well on the table top and how the cuff colors really show well against it.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, with the orange it is a good one to post on Halloween.

Nice grenadier! I was thinking of getting some Meisterzinn ...but is the casting difficult...sometimes my PA molds give me a real headache.
ReplyDeleteI like the pose - you've certainly done the figure justice.
