Light infantry Chasseurs in action!

I finished up painting a few more Chasseurs so I threw together a quick set up with my Cossacks. I still have boxes full of half painted Hat Napoleonics I still have to get around to but I,m still looking forward to seeing some new 1/32 sets??? Any news on if there will be any new sets???
I,m still hoping to see those Austrians!

I always enjoy looking at your work .Cossacks are fierce swarm.
News on a 1/32 set would be good!

It's a very nice job Fish. You made a lot off cossacks. What do you prefer, converting or painting? I'm planning to make a conversion for the Prussian koningin dragoons. If it's well done, i will show it.

Thanks Manuel! I like both painting and converting but I,d have to say I don,t like painting large numbers of figures at one time, which seams to be what I do most of the time.
I,m not a great painter and it takes me a lot of time touching and re-touching up the figures to get them to this point and I need good lighting and a strong magnifying glass also.
I have tons of half painted figures sitting around that I start up and just loose interest in getting them finished.
I do enjoy painting though when I only a few figures to do and I can enjoy the process rather then being overwhelmed by them.
The conversions are the most rewarding to get painted up though! There is something about seeing that new one of a kind figure finished and all painted up that is rewarding to me and that I enjoy the most.

Hé Fish. Well i'm a litlle bit the opposit. I paint mutch figures becaus i like a larg group off soldiers. It thakes off corse a lot off time. The hät boxes, i paint almost every figure. Not with the commander sets.
It takes for my also a lot off time to get them as i want. I think thr painting quality is almost the same as your work. I always started with a new box before i finished an other one. With half painted figures, it's gonna be a mess i think, haha. Well at the moment i'm working on a group off Prussians. Jaegers, Landwhere, grenadiers, artilry and cavalry. It's gonna be a nice big group and thats what i like so mutch. I have many idees for conversions, so i shout start with that. Enjoy yourself with this
hobby Fish, it is a fantastic amuse.
Ciao
