Thank you Nap. I used inks on the metal parts, the one I used is from dark star called

It gives a nice tarnished effect..
The base is home made from olive wood.

Beautifully done Bob, another Napoleonic inspiration. I took your advice and got some Darkstar metallics, very glad I did, thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at their inks as well.

Cheers Simon

Malc, Melanie and Simon.
Thank you for the great comments, Simon Glad to help re the metallics they are the best so far but need a good shaking, the inks are good too.

Nice one again, Bob.

 

[Viking Bob]

Nice one again, Bob.

Thank you, these figures nearly paint themselves but with all the detail it's easier to paint in sub assembles.
