I have just finished painting these beauties!  victrix heavy dragoons.They are a real pleasure to paint, with great detail and I love the horses. These represent the Inniskillings during the Peninsular campaign. More pics to follow once Steve has based them up

    Hi Paul,
    Yes I am back into the Naps!Sadly those arnt for me they are for Victrix. I do have a large amount of 28mm Prussians itching to get on my painting desk.
    The horse flesh is painted mainly using foundry paints triads. although i tend not to use it straight out of the tub instead adidng more of the lighter as i highlight as i dont like to much of a cartoony effect. the dark horses are based on "bay brown", medium "spearstaff brown" and "chestnut brown" reddy browns "dusky flesh" khaki browns "rawhide"

    Cheers
    Steve

    Lovely!

    I just hate the fact that they are too early for my needs! ;-)
