THERE is your enemy.
One down. Countless more to go!
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Elegant and splendid, great job!
ReplyDeleteMerci Phil.
DeleteWhat Phil said.. he's very martial!
ReplyDeleteHe has a reputation to make!
Delete"Countless more to go" but well worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteI hope so!
DeleteVery smart chap - well done !
ReplyDeleteThanks. Felt good to 'get back at it'.
DeleteHe's a little (or big) beauty Ross. 40mm?
ReplyDeleteLittle guy, 40mm. OK mefium sized guy.
DeleteGood start. If I hadn't been 'distracted' by Napoleonics I had intended to do 7YW armies this year myself.
ReplyDeleteMy 15mm French Rev collection was probably the largest of any I've painted and I swore I wouldn't replace them in 40mm. Oh well.
DeleteHe looks wonderful Ross. Even more pleasing to have cast him yourself. We'll look forward to seeing more of those below (and mates yet to come) in 'living colour'!
ReplyDeleteThank you James. Conversions are always fun and casting figures that I've sculpted myself is most enjoyable when it works but casting from commercial moulds is usually about convenience and economy although sometimes its just because I like the sculpting on a particular range. Lots of conversions ahead for this upcoming game, including a few of my own bits.
