WIP: Old Glory Cuirassiers #4

Well, my bank account has taken a big hit today - I've bought my replacement fridge-freezer and while I was there decided it was time to replace my gas cooker (also 16 year old) as well. I'll be taking another big financial hit this week - my annual travel card is due for renewal.

That's enough about life stuff though. What you want to hear about is painting and to see some pics.

Old Glory Cuirassiers

Done today:

• Trousers
• Boots
• Gauntlets
• Belts, cartridge pouches and scabbards
• Faces and hair (on those without closed helms)
• Hat of standard bearer
• Flagpole/lance of standard bearer
• Wooden parts of pistols
• Saddles (where visible)

It sounds like a lot, but broken up into little bits it didn't seem to take too much time.

Still to do:

• Metalwork
• Stirrup straps (just spotted I hadn't done those!)
• Error correction (need to touch up some of the armour)
• Klear/ink coat
• Basing

As I'm not gaming tomorrow night, I'll probably get these finished apart from basing which will get done on Tuesday.

I also did the flesh on the Sarmatian "other cavalry" but didn't take photos. Once the cuirassiers are done, I'll finish these.

Next Up

• Scythians
• Battlebots
• 30YW foot
• Space Demons
