Nassau Infantry - Waterloo Project

After much hesitation I have started my Nassau Infantry for the Waterloo project.

Aside from ordering the figures I have had a lot going on personally so haven't had a great deal of time.

I also wanted to go to Salute to try pick up some cheap Vallejo paints for the Nassau infantry before I started, which I did!

I have painted the first 2 which leaves me with 88 more to finish. I just wanted to get the green and the straps right before painting all of the figures.

I am aware the flank companies mostly had epaulettes not shoulder rolls but I like the look of the shoulder rolls and the Front Rank Figures.

As always comments and feedback welcome.

Salute 2015

Here are a few photos from my visit to Salute 2015.

As always a great turn out and some great demonstration games.

I didn't purchase many figures because I am heavily committed with the Waterloo project.

I did however purchas a pack of Napoleonic Dutch Jagers from Eagle Figures http://www.eaglefigures.co.uk/wordpresstrial/, a range that I have been looking at for a while.

I will review the figures in more detail later when I get the chance, and will do this on another blog page. However they looked very impressive on the display and seem like great figures for a great price. You can't argue with 24x 28mm figures for £24 nowadays.

Yet more figures to add to my already sizeable commitment for the Waterloo project!

27th Regiment of Foot - All finished!

As you know I've been painting the 27th Regiment of Foot for the Waterloo project since time began. Well now I've finally finished and I'm pleased that all the hard work has paid off!

Hope that you all enjoy the photos.

As part of the on-going project you know that I've been painting the 27th Regiment of Foot - well I've got one more company to finish and command figures - then they are done!

27th Regiment of Foot. A work in progress.

It's been a while since I've posted, and I decided to share a few photos of my WIP on the 27th Regt of Foot for the Waterloo project.

There will eventually be 7 Companies each of 24 figures plus a few command figures,  mounted officers and colours etc.

I completed the Light Company some time ago and they are boxed up and hence not in this photograph.

I'd like to have the whole battalion finished by the new year.

Waterloo Trip

I've randomly decided at short notice to visit the Waterloo battlefield in Belgium tomorrow for a few days and will return on Friday. It'll hopefully get the motivation up for the masses of painting I still have left to do. Also I've been to Belgium every year since 2010 and still haven't been!
