French Voltigeurs and Two Lady Survivors

Welcome Dear Viewer,

I don't have too much to show you today.  I managed to finish another ten models.  

First are eight plastic Perry Voltiguers.


Here's a rear shot.

Here they are with the first seven I painted last month.  I only need to paint nine more.  The newer guys are a little darker; my army painter shade is getting too thick.  I wish I knew what to thin it with.



Here are two Reaper models.  The left one is metal and the right one is "bones" plastic.  The bones model wasn't a very good mould.  There isn't much of a nose of the lady's face and the chainsaw blade is flimsy and whimsically bendable.  To top off the rather poor paint job, I made a stupid looking base for her.

And I forgot to paint their hair bands.

Till next time, when there should be some 40K Imperial Guard models and some French Dragoons, that I'm about 80% done with.

love,
Baconfat

  1. Great additions to your French force. The lady survivors are also top-notch. Always a wide variety of interests.

  3. Love the Voltiguers, but I think you are been a bit hard on yourself with the survivors. I just can't get on with the Bones plastic myself, I find it very frustrating.

    1. I like the survivors. It's not the paint job that's let you down, its poor quality control from Reaper. The paint jobs are great. Voltigeurs are nice, I have to take my hat off to anyone with the staying power to paint 28mm Naps.. Tried it never again!!!

  7. Good brushwork all round, survivours in particular, though I must admit I'm not a big fan of either figure, especially the stance of the gun-toting female.
