I started work on a unit of toy soldier National Lancers, a Boston based militia unit from the 1800's, using home cast Nowikoff horses and Zinnbrigade lancers. As usual, I started working on another project and painting on the lancers has stopped. I did paint one lancer with most of the uniform done, just to get an idea of how a finished unit would look.

| For these figures I used Tamiya acrylic paints. The gloss finish is from the paint itself. I put two coats on the figure. |

| HopefullyI will get this unit completed some day. |
Lovely glossy toy soldier John - I know what you mean about getting distracted!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really want to get some games in, so I started rebasing some of my Peter Laing figures. I have two armies rebased, now to paint the bases.
DeleteExcellent work, super glossy fellow!
ReplyDeleteI was going to paint them with Humbrol paints, but all the websites I went to were missing most of the colors I wanted. I must admit, the Tamiya paints have worked out well, and being acrylic, clean up nicely with water. I am also happy with how glossy they are.
