Hello Chris,
you're absolutely right.
The drums are made of brass. When I painted them, I was too fast. I had already painted the ribbons of the drum when I realized that only the white primer had been applied. And because painting the tapes made so much effort, I was just too lazy to correct it.
@Roger W:
I made many images of the original area around Waterloo, Plancenoit and Ligny during my weekend-tours. I´ve used a panasonic camera with panorama-function, which works excellent. But the problem is to print such a VERY LONG picture on DIN A-Format-Paper...
But a friend could help me, who is a civil engineer. In his construction office they have a special printer for colored building plans. That was quite expensive... a lot of color toner.. :scream:
Well that hard work ( & colour toner!!) in producing those backgrounds has certainly paid off as they are excellent and they complement your figures perfectly. Fantastic work.
I thank you for the praise.
I am constantly building up my Landwehr unit. First it was only a group, then a company, now a battalion. It takes a lot of time to paint a large unit.
By the way, I have a small picture puzzle built into the photos.
Who sees the small difference? :nerd_face:
Excellent work on these very good figures. Impressively staged troops in an appealing setting. The scene composition is harmonious and convincing, a real feast for the eyes. :+1:
Thanks to Strelets, we now receive ever more reasonable sets for troops that brought Napoleon down in numerous & costly battles.
Hoping for many more Russian, Austro-Hungarian, Prussian & “smaller“ states sets regarding the crucial 1812-15 campaigns. :relaxed:
