New Napoleonic Units Ready to Fight

 So as I get the new painting station set up I have been working on a backlog of minis I had from before the big move.  Here are there close up shots.  Still working on ideal phot setup and now using iphone 13 camera vs Canon Rebel w/ macro lens. Minis in the units are either Battle Honor or Old Glory 15, I lost track.

A unit of French Grenadiers

The Irish Legion (3rd Foreign Regiment) fighting for Napoleon

Lithuanian Uhlans fighting for the Czar

Polish Uhlans (9th Regiment) fighting for Napoleon

Russian Grenadiers

French Chasseurs a Cheval

 French 1st and 2nd Chasseur Regiments.  Both regiments has scarlet regimental color, 2nd had green collars instead of scarlet.  So I've either got two small regiments or they can be put together to form a larger 1st or 2nd Regiment.  These are Battle Honor/OG15 figs.  I haven't used to many of them in my collection as I feel the AB figs are nicer but the OG15 figs are generally more "dynamic" and good in their own right so I mix in a few OG15 units for the tabletop.

Not sure why I posted such a dark image before.  I tend to do that . . . I shouldn't be afraid of the light!

French Line with Artillery

 Finished up some French Line troops and guns.  This time with Battle Honor figs to get some more variety amongst all the Eureka figures.  Here's a sample.

Austrian Grenadiers

Halfway through painting and basing Austrian Grenadiers.  Six "companies" of four stands completed, six more to go.  Scott B. should be able to make a lot of converged grenadier battalions from this effort.  Minis are Old Glory 15's.

Finished Kevin's Japanese Infantry Regiment

These are 15mm Battle Honors/Quality Castings figures based for Command Decision rules.  Photos are a bit dark as boards were too big to fit completely under my bright lights.

Infantry Regiment and 1st Battalion

2nd and 3rd Battalions

Tank Group, Trucks, and Limbers

WWII Japanese Infantry Regiment

Still plugging away on Kevin's Japanese . . .

Several artillery limbers and pack mules

and some heavy infantry weapons, infantry and artillery crews.

Kevin's WWII Japanese

Next project on the table are the first of what will be a reinforced Japanese WWII regimental battlegroup for Kevin L. based for Command Decision rules.  Figures are 19th Century Miniatures/Old Glory 15/Battle Honors/Quality Castings or whatever you want to call them.  In this photo, the black primed figures are getting their uniform base coat, a gold brown and plague brown to provide some variation.

Not very exciting at the moment, but with some highlights and detail they'll soon start to look 'more better.'

Now with the uniform and kit detailed, here is what we have (changed to macro lens for better close-up) . . .

Brown-wash and highlights next, followed by varnish.  Stay tuned.

And the final product. . .

Now just 200+ figures to go and a dozen or so vehicles . . .

Spanish Artillery

And some Spanish foot artillery with crew in bicorne.  Figures are Old Glory 15's from 19th Century Miniatures/Battle Honors

Spanish Light Cavalry

Latest effort provides some Spanish Cazadore (Chasseurs) Light Cavalry.  The unit in red facings is the Olicanza Regiment and the unit in blue facings is the Espana Regiment.  Figs are Old Glory 15's (a.k.a. Battle Honors, a.k.a. 19th Century Miniatures).

Spanish Heavy Cavalry 1810-ish

Spanish Heavy Cavalry Regiments Rey (Red Facings) and Calatrava (Lt Blue Facings).  Minis are Old Glory 15's.
