AB's 18mm Napoleonics

Posted by ONIRIA on 20 Oct 2008, 13:54

Hi all
This is mi first attempt at this scale (Rather small they are!). Y have added a comparaison shot with a Italery Plastic. I hope it's useful.
. Right now I have swore myself to do a Napoleonic dio. All figures will be 15/18mm.
I will only focus on that project and I hope I can have it finshed by next May. Comments and improvement tips are welcome

Hi Oniria,

These 15/18mm figures are very nice detailed.
I didn't knew that and it surprises me.
And you've painted it very good.
Pse tell me, what do you find more difficult to paint 15/18mm or 1:72 figures?
And what do you like more?

Hi all
Thanks a lot for your kind comments


Pse tell me, what do you find more difficult to paint 15/18mm or 1:72 figures?

Hi Martin: I think smaller figures are "less hard" to paint than bigger ones. 28mm are harder than 20mm but easier than 40mm. You have to be more precise with paint/water raitios and more subtle with blendings. You aslo have to add more detail. In 20mm you just paint a dot for the eye ball. In 28mm you can also add a shine twinkle in the pupil. and so on...So 15mm is a bit less hard than 20mm

My favourite scale would be 20mm or 1/72. But I like any scale as long as they are well prportioned and realistic figures. It's a pitty that you can't find these in 28mm, because even the Perry figures (beign the best) are still a bit out of proportion for my taste.
