15mm French Cuirassiers

I know 2020 has been a tough year for everyone, but unless you have young children, you are not getting the full craziness of this year. I went from having five days a week to paint to ONE day. Mondays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM I have to myself. The rest of the week I have kids with me. I am afraid it does not make for much production.

That's a long way to say that these 48 cuirassiers took me a month to paint. I am happy with how they turned out, but I have to find some way to improve my pace.


1st Cuirassiers





4th Cuirassiers






7th Cuirassiers






Polish Cuirassiers





The French carabiniers are up next. After then will come Polish light cavalry and Saxons. John's French army is taking shape.

  2. Excellent work. And 48 mounted painted to that high standard is about a months work I reckon.

    1. Many thanks! I find the white-trimmed red along the sides of the cuirass to be the hardest bit.

  3. Very handsome cavalry parade as we all expect from you, Scott! Hopefully we can at least make a drive by to give our holiday cheer before Christmas. Stay well.

  5. Well done. Getting any painting done with younger children is always a challenge. Retirement is the answer :-)

  8. I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing  the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a  VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com

  9. The model papers of UP Intermediate board exams will help the candidates to have an understanding of the actual exam pattern of UP Class 12 Board Exams, the nature of questions, UP Board 12th Question Paper 2021 and the weightage of marks for each phase in a particular concern.
