15mm Ab French Imperial Guard #2 Last 2 sticks
Okay so here are the last 2 sticks of 16 AB French Imperial Guard to do. I have been trying to finish these up as I just got a very good sized order in of more AB's from a trade that I just did with Galpy in New Zealand and want to move onto them, I will post more about them later. Also I can not wait until my new eye glasses come in, I went in about a week ago to the VA(Veterans Admin. USA) for an eye check and my yearly prescription, which I have put off for 3 yrs. Anyway the new glasses will be here in about 2 weeks or so, hopefully they will help my painting as I have a lot of difficulties of late trying to paint and only see stuff that needs to be touched up on these after I look at the pictures. Later today hopefully I will be posting up the final result for this unit. After painting AB, Essex, Old Glory and Mini-figs I have to say that the AB's are the best followed up by the Mini-Figs and the Old Glory and lastly Essex. Simply on size and detail of the figures. The AB's have so much detail to them they just beg to be painted "properly" which is an absolute joy to do. Anyway here they are.

Razor,
ReplyDeletesome nice looking guardsmen you have there! Those AB's just cant help but paint nice.
I'm debating getting that hussar book from your last post. I've already done the 5th, need refs for the 1st and 4th (part of Pajols corps at Ligny)
Cheers

They look great; I've never painted 15's, but they look very detailed. I have painted 1/72nd plastics in the past (including the Airfix French Napoleonics). From what I've read & seen, AB 15's are the best Napoleonics in that scale. I've also seen them listed as 18mm. Great stuff, in any case. Dean
ReplyDeleteThese are actually the 18mm's I believe. But 15/ 18 it's close...lol and given that one manufacturer's 15 is anothers 18 I guess it's all the same. With the exception of the Essex I have they seem to be on their own and are like 12mm or 13mm to me. But thanks guys I reall appreciate the feed back. Ken as to the book, every page of the Hussar book has several plates in it or just about. To me they are a must have for French Hussars, I have the other one on hold at my FLGS. Hope to pick it up in a week or so...Happy painting...Cheers
