They look fantastic, well done! What kind of paint are you using? The Matty/seudey black on the horse looks awesome!

Thanks Brad :) Yes, I paint the figure, use various washes to bring out the cast details and then drybrush the details a second time to bring out the colour. Thank you for your kind comments :D Please keep posting your recent projects - even if they are not complete!

I do believe they wore them in combat, though I could be mistaken. They were never actually adorned, only ever drapped over the shoulder with a gold chain around the neck holding it in place. Thank you for the kind comments :)

That is very creative!! Great idea with the putty too! My latest attempt: Chasseur a Cheval How I love holidays!

That is a fantastic job!!! Very creative with the stretcher! How did you get the red-cross vests on the troops?

Mate that is phenominal!! Well done!!! The face especially! What technique do you use when painting faces? I'm working on a French Chasseur Cheval!! I feel your pain!! Be sure to post when you're done :)

Who knew toy soldier collectors could be such a fiesty bunch :p I guess the lesson to be learnt is: Don't get between a man and his hobby! haha Merry Christmas all, may you all have a successful and prosperous new year with you and yours :) Nathan

Hey guys, I couldn't find a similar topic, but if there is I appologise! Just thought it would be great to have a thread for people to post their latest projects or pieces and for others to provide constructive criticisms and the like! Here is mine: My first go at painting in almost 8...

Can you make the holder look like a bottle? Molotov Cocktail style!! :D Pretty neat though! Even the base is realistic! Thanks for posting :D

Hey Brad, Thank you so much for that most informative response!! I'll definately do some digging! I have a few of them, so will look for any marks on basing as you suggested. Thanks a lot!!! Nathan

Excellent! Thank you for that!

Hey everyone, I thought this would be an appropriate forum to request any information on some figures I purchased many years ago from an Antique store in New Zealand. At the time I picked them up for $2.00 a piece. There is little else to say about them, I believe them to be post war, and...

No no I hear exactly what you're saying I said the same thing when I opened up Joseph Murat (Marshall of France) His pose is so bourgoise, so aristocratic you can almost feel the arrogance eminating from the figure!! And amazingly this kind of 'body language' is created without any washes or...

Hey guys, To encourage a bit more dicussion in the ranks, lets hear what your favourite Imperial Peice (to date) is? I know its hard!!:eek: Furthermore, what is a set you would really love to see come out of the land of the long white cloud? (NZ...) :D I couldn't decide between my favourite...

Hey mate, What source told you Imperial was shutting down? (and when...?) I believe it to be inaccurate, The company did close for a year or two several years ago due to various reasons but is currently going well? Have you got an idea what you want to sell that RD set at yet? :P

Further to what Drum stated, None of the Napoleonics have been discontinued at this stage. There are still several Sudan sets available for purchase as well as several Crimean War sets available. There is an extensive range of town and around for ready purchase, as well as the 'Te Maori' and...

Thank you so much for posting them - The curiosity has driven me insane wondering what they look like! Those "Marines in Tripoli" are particularly beautiful!

I wonder if the stickers were included for a display purpose? I.e. putting them behind the sets on a cabinet or the like...
