Old Guard for Project Leipzig ready for review

Have had this troop in their original package unpainted for 30 years.  The Guard is for the old Heritage series.  They where the best at that time.  All that is left it too finished up the command stands..


All comments are welcome.

100th Post on my Blog. Fresh off the painting table

Just about finsihed up.   The Grenz and Landwehr need their muskets finished up.  But first a coat of the Testor flat finish needs to be sprayed on.   The trooper where replaced by a large pile of Austrian Cavalry.  Next this pile is a 86 Polish Infantry.  Next up will be the Polish Cavalry.  Hope I can get them all finished in time.  Need to start the buildings soon.

The picture didnt come out as well I would of liked.  The gloss makes the photos of the figures not the best.  It a distance they are not bad...

Here for your review:

My 28mm Roman Fort came today.

Just before the Leipzig project got kicked off.  I purchased a 28mm Roman Fort from Acheson Creations.  There was a few issues on the delivery being very late.  But it was all solved by instant messaging the Owners on their face book page.  It turned out the molds for the Fort had to be made.   With the that information I have no problem waiting a little longer.   The Wooden Gateway should be coming next week, that is one of the molds that need recasting..

That a look at they products  both in 15mm and 28mm.   This weekend I plan to post pictures of my Fort..  When time permits I hope to paint them and add terrain bits to the Fort...   Check out the pictures below from Acheson Creations.
