Jean Just superb - cant say more than that Can you tell me what scale the figure is? Steve

Thanks Phil, It all gets confusing :( I think thats why we like the challenge, but honestly I want to move away from Napoleonics but still have a number of figures not yet started. I haven't decided what period to concentrate on. I thought that Euro might give me some ideas, problem was too...

Einion, The figure is not dated on Verlinden's box it is 120 scale. I believe that it is from the period 1804 - 1812 but I cannot be certain.

At present I am in the process of painting Verlinden's 120mm Trumpeter of 5th Hussars. The art work on the box shows that the pelisse, dolman facings and shako are all blue, and this looks more like a royal blue. I have been reading Histoire & Collections-Officers and Soldiers of the French...

Excellent work Rafa, I really like the way you have done his trousers and boots. Can I ask you what scale the figure is? Cheers Steve

Marijn, Well done on your BoS. My wife and I saw you on Sunday morning and wondered why you had that big smile on your face - now we know why :) absolutely brilliant. Steve

Looking forward to meeting some of you guys and putting faces to the names I see in the Forums. Petrol shortage fears have dissappeared, as for the wife she wants to tag along and she's bringing her purse. What more can I ask for :)

Excellent work Graham just as a matter of interest - what scale is your Fusilier?, thanks for your explanation on how you painted him. These sort of tips are invaluable for us new to the hobby :) Cheers Steve

Excellent work Pecca, looking forward to seeing them "Finished" at Euro :)

I would just like to say "Thanks" to all you guys for the advice given. So I am off to the local supermarket to pick up some oven cleaner - I'll be ok as long as the wife doesn't think that I'll be cleaning the oven :)

Thanks for the info guys :) I will take on board what you have said. Einion - I tend to undercoat in acrylic and paint in oils. I have just managed to pick up a previously painted white metal fig of Lord Cardigan 54mm, I think it was a Chota Sahib. Its painted in enamels so i will try the...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could advise me of what medium to use to strip paint from white metal or resin figures. I have heard others on PF refer to easyoff - is this product available in the UK or is there something similar. I have used nitromoor's before but I am not sure that it would...

Cheers Anthony, I'll give it a try

I have just aquired a Poste Militaire figure and wondered if any PF members have any information or can point me in the right direction about it. The figure is of a Belgian Officer Cadet (Ecole Royal Militaire) and i believe the scale is either 90 or 100mm, this is the only information I have...

Being fairly new to this great hobby, I am really looking forward to this tutorial. Perhaps afterwards my subjects faces will look more lifelike. Well I can dream can't I :) or at least practice a lot !

I'm using Verlinden's Private, 60th Foot in 120 mm, thanks for the suggestions I'll give it a go :)

Having just started to paint using oils , I would be grateful if anyone out there can suggest what colours to mix to get the colour for the tunic of the95th Rifles.
