So blag posts have been thin on the ground lately but like buses(anyone remember them) there are none for ages the 2 come along at once.
The photos are of my latest rather small unit for "Shinyloo" my retro Napoleonic mostly 30mm collection. These aged chaps are from Barry Minot who made a good bundle of assorted 30mm Historicals in the 70s and 80s. These days some are a bit thin on the ground - which is why this unit is only a dozen strong. I have a couple more of the figures but they need some TLC and repair before I start painting them.
Minot 30mm Painted as Fusilers -Grenadiers. |
I do now have quite a bundle of Minot Napoleonics. Some splendid French Cuirassiers and a fair number of British Infantry and French Imperial Guard but of course most of them need painting. Earlier "Shinyloo" posts show those I have actually finished - both Minot and other makes.
Firing line. Again Minot |
Loading - an Officer and Ouch that Hurt ! |
The "Shinyloo " collection is now in sight of 400 individual models- not quite there yet but I can see it from here. Still plenty to paint though.
Wonderfully animated and painted figures! Awfully tempting, but I must resist.

Beautiful figures, love the injured guy...
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps the injured chap appears in the Old Guard too- I have 1 plus a few other wounded and casualties Minot did. His animation was always good though sometimes his detail work was just a little bit off. Nevertheless I like his 30mm work.Not easy to come by these days.
DeleteGreat looking figures, excellent poses and beaut painting!
