Here are a couple of Historex figures I am working on for a club project. It will be a corner of a Grenadier square at Waterloo.

Marvellous, and all the other words you can think of to describe these little gems....

(I would put a smiley face ,but emoticons do not work.......)

 

[pgarri27]

Thanks. I think there will be about 15 figures.

You go Petey! Done in time to see it in February, right?

 

[pgarri27]

Hi Steve,
Yes, it's the club project for the Atlanta show in February.

Pete,
Great project! You know how I love Historex! It should be great to see the finished project at the show. I wish I had time to be a part.

Best Regards,
Rod

I'm looking forward to seeing how this evolves - I love Historex. A great start.

I've been working on assemblying them all day. The Grenadier's earings and his rifle sling were the worst. Dropping itty-bitty parts on the floor, then crawling aroung with the opti-visor...well, you know that story. I haven't fixed the hands yet. I plan to paint the figure before adding the rifle and the flag. I see a couple of places where I have to smooth out the putty. Please let me know what you see that needs correcting.
Thanks,
Pete

These are my two completed figures. Next month after the Atlanta show I will post pictures of the complete diorama.

Excellent work my friend,it brings back many happy memories of my Historex days

Went to the club meeting today. They started to assemble the project. Turns out there are 21 foot soldiers and one mounted officer in the square. It's going to look really good, I say. It will be up for auction at the 2016 show. I think I am going to have to put in a bid for it.

If you are like me, I will have to live for 150 years after I retire if I am to paint all the figures in the GA. I must have about a hundred mounted Historex figures alone, not to mention all the other guys waiting for their turn on the workbench.

Great work and superb job painting the flag. Nice idea doing a group diorama like this - can get some big numbers of figures together for an impressive effect. Looking forward to seeing the whole scene.
Cheers
