This is a test stand I painted, trying out new figures to see how they would mix with my Old Glory figures. The grenadiers are from IR 43.

The Front Rank figures are definitely beefier than every other brand I've painted. Still, they have a charm all their own, and they were a breeze to paint.
I never would have thought of black-lining in grey. It's highly effective on these figures. Nice idea and excellent execution.
ReplyDeleteThey've come out really well. I echo AJ's comment on the "grey-lighting". Wonderful detail on the back of the caps too.
