28mm Elite Miniatures:
Here are my Four (16 figures each) Grenadier Battalions: I noticed something interesting about these figures though, The Grenadier and Line Infantry figure sculpts are almost identical to each other, the difference being the Grenadiers have mustaches :o) with red grenade patches on their white Tunic turn backs, where as the Line Infantry figures don't have mustaches! :oP

I was a little surprised & disappointed, after receiving my 28mm Elite miniatures Grenadier packs, the figures have no tall plumes but instead short to mini plumes? The Grenadier figures would have looked better with tall painted red plumes and red cords without shako covers of course....
anyway.. umm..my flocking of the bases are of moderate quality.

Great painting, Phil! I love your Napoleonics work. Looks like a great changeup from ancients.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monty!
DeleteI started working on my Napoleonic Saxon's mid July - finished the Grenadiers and Line Infantry, currently working on Light Infantry...no Saxon Cavalry figures yet (short on cash :o)
I agree, feels good to work on my Napoleonic 28mm figures for a change of pace and put painting ancients on hold....
cheers,
Very nice Phil! Between your posts and a Westfalia Minis sale today, I'm trying my best not to start buying Saxons (yet). :-)

Very nice Phil, love your work.
ReplyDeleteYes the Grenadiers visually would have been better with taller plumes.
But they still look great and on mass.
Small plumes or not these look great Phil!

my Saxon Grenadiers still look funny to me without plumes...so..my idea is to drill holes on top of their shakos add on wire use green stuff and design/sculpt my own plumes? :o)
DeleteThanks Christopher!
cheers
Lovely Phil, they look cool with,or without the large parade plume.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul!
