The last couple of days I've painted a few of my 1st generation Minifigs Napoleonics, with the goal of using with ONE HOUR WARGAMES. I started looking for pictures of 1st generation Minifigs online. While trying to find the Minifigs, I read about Minifigs 5mm blocks of figures. Having used 2mm Irregular blocks in the past, I went looking for some illustrations of the Minifigs blocks and found a few pictures of them. Now distracted from my original project, I found myself spending more time searching for the Minifigs blocks, with the goal of trying to get some. Now before spending years on a crusade to find these figures, I dug out some Heroics and Ros figures and realized that if I want to go this route, that Heroics And Ros would be the way to go.
John - love how the figures have come out, it is truly amazing what you can do with these 5mm figures, a good eye and a steady hand!
ReplyDeleteI started painting a few H&R FPW Prussians years ago, but never finished them.
I think I have some Napoleonic cavalry somewhere, I will dig them out as I owe you quite a parcel of stuff - amongst other things, Richard Black sent me a boxful of assorted 'strip' Minifigs 15mm for you
Ian, I spent part of today painting a few H&R units to see how much work it is. A couple of hours and a pounding headache, I have the units mounted almost done. Just some final touchup.
ReplyDeleteI have to do some research and figure out who was looking for some Dark Age figures. With all the Peter Laing Vikings and Normans I got, I have to get some of my parcels out myself.
