Hi guys, for various reasons I have been in a bit of a hobby slump lately, and have been uming and aring about what to work on to get out of it, and have decided on painting my 15mm Bavarian collection, I have painted a few of these AB Bavarians before for my mate, and did a good job, but I want these ones for my collection to be the best I can do, these are about 60%-70% done, I have never done Non Metalic metals before, so was thinking of trying it on these, but to be honest I get a little nervous trying new techniques. These will be for the 2nd infantry Regt, with yellow lacing. I think the details on the faces are a little soft, I may need to do some more washes, to bring out the details, these are all ABs except one of the standard bearers, and the sapper, all comments welcome,
I do commissions, my prices can be found in the folder on the right marked "prices, I can be contacted at dan.dunbar@hotmail.com

15mm Bavarians in Greatcoat conversions finished
Hi guys, got caught up in real life over the last week, but have now finished this unit (almost, just need to paint the officers sash) they are pretty plain wearing their greatcoats, but I'm not aware of any other 15mm Bavarian's in greatcoats, so at least they are unique, I left the officer coat less so you can tell which unit it is, I painted this one as the 9th, heads are from AB Bavarians, bodies are AB Old Guard.

WIP German Armour, 2nd batch
Hi guys, it was hot here in Sydney towards the end of last week, so I took a break from painting some Napoleonics, and started building my next batch of kits, the first 3 of 10 vehicles, these will also be included in the missing-lynx Braille scale anti tank build, here are 2 Revell late Stug IIIGs, and an Italeri Hetzer, the grey tracks on the Revell kit are Attack parts, I used the original parts to spruce up an Attack Stug, the white wheels are a couple I cast up from resin to replace wheels I had used on another build, the Hetzer some more work on the mantlet, but is basically done.

Bavarian Grenadier Gardes finished
Hi guys, these are the Bavaria Grenadier Garde finished for Scott's birthday present, he wants to field them in battle so we decided to paint them in the red striped blue pants, instead of the white parade pants, officers being the dandies they are, probably would have wore parade uniform, so they got white pants, they are AB Bavarian line infantry with AB Old guard head swaps, the head swaps don't really stand out, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, I will be making one of these units for myself when I get around to painting my Bavarian army, let me know what you think.
