The amount of detail you put in each figure has me in awe.

Hey W, i do not.
I do paint the base of the figure in Vallejo earth , then glue it onto the base, then i put some glue around the base and add dirt and grass.

Thank you for explaining that buddy, I guess I just make hard work for myself.

I appreciate the comment Malc,
I guess i do try to take care of the small details, i believe it helps to the overall look
Sometimes i feel like i go very slow on my progress with figures, but worth the time and effort at the end.
Cheers!

No problem my friend,
Will you be open to give it a try to the way i do place the figures onto the base?.
It will save you time , i can only imagine the precision work you have to do in order to separate the base of each figure!

 

[MarquisMini]

These chaps are almost done, hair, hat and fusils are done.
I have oitlimed the edges of the red usingOrange/red ( vallejo)

i will finish these chaps when i work the gaiters and shoes next.

I might be able to get away with keeping the bases on (if they where trimmed a little smaller if they where placed in the Grass area) but a large portion of them need to be placed on the solid road and the bases would show up.

Yeah, when you hace to place them on the road is tricky, what i normally do in that case ( depends on how big the base of the figure is) i use a little bit of putty to add some "dirt or mud" to the ground and conceal the base with vallejonearth color and then glue some dirt .

Thank you always for your kind words Kev.
To answer your question, i have painted few of the AWI perry French infantry in 28mm, they are amazing, but i discontinued that project and end up selling them.
Best regards.

 

[MarquisMini]

I have finished these 5 troopers,
I will follow with the next batch soon...

 

[Briggsy]

Once that base is full it's going to.be awesome.

There are so many option when it comes to Napoleonic, certainly the gallant Polish Lancers are in my list of favorites.
