update WIP Winter Fallschirmjagers
Hi guys
Some more painting done on these Krauts, they are starting to look the part, still a bit of work to do on them, I have put a lot of work into these guys and I really like them, but I have found a wargames club not to far from home and I'm thinking of selling them to raise money to build a 15mm Napoleonic Prussian army, if you would be interested in this force (there's also a Pak40 with 6 crew, HMG and 5 man crew, Mortar team, FO team, and will be adding a StugIIIG that will be included) then contact me on dan.dunbar@hotmail.com

WIP 15mm Westphalian light horse
Hi guys
Despite my posting pics of infantry in my French revamp post, I'm starting off with a Cav unit, my aim is to try and use up any figs in my stash before buying new figs (only if I have to) so I'm converting the Westphalian light horse from OG Bavarian Chevaulegers.
The helmet was wrong, so I have head swapped with some spare OG Carabinier heads, I have yet to change some details on the helmets, I have removed all the swords and drilled hands for lances, and given them wool shabraques.
Yet to do
Helmet details
add a sword and scabbard
shape the lance and add pennants
Question : does anyone know if the Westphalian light horse had carbines? I cant see any in reference pics.

My first 15mm Naps (23 years old) being revamped
Hi guys
I don't know how many 10s of thousands of 15mm Napoleonic figures I have painted, its a lot, but the journey had to start somewhere, here are some pics of my first 15mm Napoleonic figures, painted 23 years ago, these are French, the white uniforms represent those Regts that were issues white for a short time when the French ran out of blue dye due to the British blockades.
I was going to say how badly these guys are painted, but having blown up the pics they're not to bad, only need a wash and some highlights to be presentable.
I managed to get 12 x 12 man Battalions, some arty, and some allies finished the first time, I will be doubling these to 24 man bats, repainting to all dark French blue, and re basing, aiming for a corps size force for 1809-10 Peninsular War.
When I bought these guys there was no online, they were bought from my LHS, so I ended up with a mix of figures, most of these figs are Old glory for the command and centre companies, which I don't mind, (if I was starting from scratch I would use ABs) and for the flankers some Essex which I loath and will replace ( I might use their heads for some head swaps) Lancaster miniatures, which fit in well with OG but are limited in pose, so I will be converting them a little to expand their usefulness, and some Minifigs, which I don't mind, but have a very different style to everyone else, so I might leave them out, or might try and keep to their own bat.
I also have a Peninsular Brit army (ABs) and plan on doing an 1815 Prussian army with mostly ABs and some Old Glory for the Landwher.
