While technically a WIP, as they are theoretically unbased I will allow these to pass my otherwise pedantic and stringent views on this matter..Figures are 1974 era sculptures .. owned by larkers ,as mostly supplied by evzone .all painted by the Cardinal.Cork bases by Larkers Click on the pics for nice big versions.

Minifigs resurrection part 4

Having received some more  very averagely done Minifigs and charged with organising  them into  an organic brigade for  Lasalle who was toI  say no. The plan is to use the existing paint jobs as a basis for  the  repaint to cut down time  taken and  cost for the owner..well that's  the plan , I am not sure that there will be that much of a saving .. a number have to be  done from scratch and there are any number of horrible mistakess to repair..but  ever onwards.

part 2 The infantry and artillery   infantry are now re- based and  a good chocolate brown applied ..next touch ups and  organise in  n orderd manner the shako pom poms.. then  a bit of retro style flocking..There were enough minis to do 8 Lassalle units so Larkers now has his core division .

 

and this last one is for my mate Pz.Ferdinand  ..unrelated to the above..

Minifigs resurrection.. a WIP part 1.

Minifigs, owned and nearly all painted by me  in the very early 80s.An army that was ever victorious in  the  very very odd  world of  WRG. By chance, or was it design . who knows, it ended up in the ownership of my good chum Larkspur , who has chosen to employ me on rehabilitating  this  fine body of very shiny fellows to  the noble standards of Lasalle..so it has begun.They were mostly in remarkable condition, that Windsor & Newton Gloss varnish is very very effective.

The bases are 50x 50mm , none of that loony bolshie 40 x 40  for 25mm lads  ,and are 5mm   cork tiles so as  to give them a bit of stature when up against the  big men of today..First pic is the Heavy cavalry Dragoons, Cuirassiers  and Carabiniers..

 

commanders ..

more commanders..almost 30 years on from the day they were first painted..

Dragoon regiment , the 17th ..I didn't paint these , I think Jeff Thompson did these..

The rest of the army,  in its storage box..don't worry lads the Beau Soleil will shine on you soon
