Rank Has Its Priveledges

More work has been done on the Greys than it looks and I've now finished rereading O'Brien's Post Captain for the first time in, well, years, possibly decades.  Hopefully, I'll be done with the Greys on Friday and can get back to French skirmishers. I'm very happy though that I'm sticking with my now usual new toy soldier crossed with old school wargaming look. (Not the Gilder old school style obviously)

At least the British now have a General!

    I have never been able to paint grey or whit horses - so good luck with that!

    What a find looking bay. The officer picked well from his stables. You said that you wanted to get back to horses!

      'Fine' looking bay, that is. No doubt a good find for the officer too...

      He almost looks more the following type, certainly more reserved than his opponent with his plumes and sash, waving his sword about!

    They're looking splendid Ross, especially the officer - will he lead as well as he looks?

    You have the charm of the figure just right. It’s a funny old mindset thing, I save the quirkier figures until last - my sort of reward for ploughing through the line stuff first.

      In this case, I saved the cavalry until I could get enough successful castings to form a unit.

      Brighter than life I'm sure but the girls will be impressed whether the enemy is or isn't!

    If Lord Foppington leads as well as he looks... the opposition is in for a rough time! He does make quite the sartorial statement! Well done, Ross!

    He's fabulous, especially the rosy cheeks, very old school / toy soldier - are you intending to gloss varnish him?

      He had one coat before the photo and another after. Might eventually get a 3rd or not.

    Great stuff, Ross. May their carbines stay in place and their valiant chargers always close with the enemy!

    Your Greys are terrific. The Brit commander positively exudes arrogance. Good job!
