My last five Hussar figures. The bases had gone AWOL and they have been painted as French musicians and sappers.

On to the next set. The Waterloo British Artillery (01746) figures were heavy with flash, I removed this with a hot soldering iron. 33006083548_c957e8aa4a_b.jpg   They were then sprayed with black primer. 33006083418_6dc81bd995_b.jpgVallejo Model Color 135 70875 Beige Brown + 147 70871 Leather Brown + 148 70941 Burnt Umber + 169 70950 Black = horses

These didn't take long. They can also represent the King's German Legion Horse Artillery. They were equipped and uniformed the same as the RHA.

Next up, the Waterloo French Infantry 01744. The instructions have them painted as Grenadiers; which isn't too bad except they lack epaulettes, and the breeches and gaiters they wear are more fitting for an earlier period than Waterloo. They could equally be Voligeurs; right in some aspects but wrong in others. Flags weren't carried by Grenadiers or Voltigeurs so he must be a Fusilier. Trumpeters were not used by the Infantry, so I shall transfer him to the Horse Artillery. The Officer is quite acceptable. Like the RHA these carry a bit of flash.

Out with the soldering iron for a clean-up.

I shall be painting them in a variety of uniforms. These will be Grenadiers.

About twice as many will be Voltigeurs.

The next set to enter the process is the 01749 Imperial Guard. There is a thin film of flash around each of the figures.

So they received the soldering iron treatment.

46081019025_30e24829ea_b.jpgI have 8 figures left over from my previous set (with the bases cut off), so I may as well paint them at the same time.
