I have finally managed to finish the Hussar for the dio, still couple of little tidying to do but that will happen when i come to paint him. The sabretache straps are not fixed fully to the figure yet as i want to remove the sabretache and sword for painting. Now onto the reg`t des dromadaires figures to get him finished.

54mm Napoleons troops in Egypt
Thought it about time for an update to this one as i have started work on the two Napoleonic troops now. I decided to go for a 7th(bis)Hussar trooper for one of the figures and a trooper from the Regiment Des Dromadaires for the other. Still lots of work to do on both but i am happy with the progress so far.

75mm Winter German recce
I managed to get this one finished now and set on a simple oak base.
The intention of this vignette was to depict a winter scene without the use of snow so i had to try to create a cold atmophere, i decided to go for a frosted look and used some glitter glue for this which adds a bit of shimmer to represent frost. I managed to find a suitable glitter glue after looking at quite afew options in my local craft store,most glues contained large glitter particles which were not suitable, eventually i found one that contained very fine silver glitter which suited the job.
All painting is done in acrylic except for some oil washes on the concrete surfaces.
Time to move on to the next project.
