The Emperor himself

[Peter]

Very nice group of command figures

[k.b.]

Good evening all. Methinks this thread is dying a slow death - let's see if a few new pictures can rustle up a bit more interest; if not will stop posting until the whole scene, base and all, is ready. Here's a Carabinier officer and an Empress Dragoon trooper for starters.



and here's a Line Lancer officer from a couple of different angles...

Don't stop Keith

Love them all

[MABO]

Every time an eyecatcher!

[k.b.]

Thanks Peter and MABO. Pleased to see that there are a few members out there who are interested not only in 1/72 but also in the smaller scales.
Once I get this scene finished i have every intention of returning to my larger plastics which will surely be a piece of cake after tackling these wee fellows.
However, still got a few ABs to finish before I go about a large scenic base, make trees and paint a nice backdrop. Methinks I'm gonna take about another month to get this scene finished once and for all.

PS/ It goes without saying I'm also hoping to get my hands on a better camera

[MABO]

I think here are a lot of people interested in smaller scales. First of all the Admin!
Keep in mind that 1/72 is the largest scale here

[k.b.]

Thanks for your interest and support MABO and you are undeniably right that there are some interested members in smaller scales, including our maestro himself - cheers BENNO

However, overall there seems to be few who actually work or at least post pictures of smaller scale figures (or reply to other peoples' posts ) when you compare with 1/72s.

When all said and done 3 pages of 18mm or smaller v 46 pages of 1/72s proves my point don't you think? )

Bigger pics and different view of newly finished figs...

here's a close-up of first two figures..

Every time I see them they look better

[Phersu]

Wow!
Amazing perfect painting indeed!
In that small scale then, a real master's work!

[k.b.]

Thanks gents for the encouragement...however, don't hesitate to add your constructive criticism if you have any.
Here's one last close-up of these lads before their appearance in the finished diorama.

Another marshall - this time with a different backdrop. Hope ya like...















Keep in mind that these little fellows are Tony Barton's remarkable 18mm Ab figures. His sculpting in this scale never ceases to amaze me.

[Peter]

Really wonderfull figures Rich

Are there more to come?

[ColeF]

Your painting makes me think about getting some of these!

[k.b.]

In answer to your question Peter oh yes there are still plenty to come. Perhaps 10 -15 figures afterwhich, I will decide on how many minis will fit comfortably on the base. Methinks there will be around 50 figures in the finished scene.

I promise you ColeF you will be delighted if you get your hands on some of these fellows. Once they're cleaned up and polished with a suede brush they literally cry out to have paint added. Am sure you'll love painting them.

Thanks gents for your comments.
