There has not been a great deal of shine in my life recently, regular readers may have noticed an increased use of matt varnish !
This is because I have been painting models for my forthcoming book on Wargaming the Anglo- Sikh Wars. Most of my recent posts have shown the slow growth of this collection and it is still growing. More Ghoracharra and more Akhalis currently sit on the painting table in various states of undress.
However a lack of shine was beginning to tell so here are a few shiny Dudes I have managed to finish amongst all the matt.

| Shiny Hussars 30mm Stadden. The middle chap is on a Willie horse. |

| Prince Blucher- wondering what he is doing in the Punjab- or on a desert cloth ! |
Not sure what Blucher and some British 7th Hussars are doing in the Punjab but there you go.
Everyone needs a little shine every now and again!
Right back to the Sikh wars and matt varnish!
Nice to see a bit of shiny goodness and those hussars are lovely!!! The Sikh wars book will be of great interest to me and I will look forward to it's publication, wargaming this period is on my "to do" project list!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie- the Hussars take some painting - which is why there are so far only 3 finished. Eventually there should be 10 or so. The book is due out in the second half of this year- Helion again.
Deletelovely.
ReplyDeletethose stadens / Willies have the 'dash' and animation that Gilder so prized, and seems to have sadly lacking in the post-Perry era in a many a figure range
ReplyDeleteCould not agree more- so many of todays perryclones have no 'life' in 'em.
DeleteI have that 'Blucher" - a very fine figure.
ReplyDeleteThe start of a few shiny Prussians. You can't do 'shinyloo' without some Prussians.
