I think it would be possible to model a bowstring but it would’ve fiddly. It’s not something I’ve ever tried. The shape of bows generally speaking is as you describe across manufacturers.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you - enjoy.

They just say better slightly further around to the rear due to the sculpts in this case, plus the stances on many of them might suggest that in the current pose the waist position might have shifted slightly. It also serves a gaming function of not having them protrude too much and thus be more vulnerable to damage. However yes they could be more accurately placed (they are also the wrong way up).

Thank you. I very occasionally will commission paint, it's difficult to take projects on these days due to being so busy I have far less free time than I did once upon a time.

@@poohhbeeaar 2mm thick MDF squares or rectangles and superglue. The base material is sand washed and highlighted then static grass and the odd tuft.

I certainly could, but it would be finding the time at the moment. The waistcoat/lapels/straps layered as they are get painted using many of the same colours and techniques, I just leave a soft grey in the extreme recesses. Additionally, the straps etc. have a slightly different tone of white and associated highlight in order to distinguish them from the trousers. I'll see what I can do!

I very much like it too.

@@thelastbattalion3509 I served in a hussar regiment but I got a fascination with lancers, best Napoleonic uniforms imo.

Glad to be of help.

That depends on both manufacturer and individual point of view. Some measure from the bottom of the feet, some from the plinth that they come cast on, it depends. Like all the other scales, you then get 'big' and 'small' versions within a scale too as people interpret aesthetics differently. Then you have scale creep over the years too. It's complicated!

More miniatures to choose from is no bad thing.

They really are of a high standard.

Awesome! I have since added hundreds more to both sides of that collection.

There's certainly some degree of improvement/refinement that could have been made to the kits. I think that the intention if for them to bring out some new sets, unclear how compatible they will necessarily be with each other.

Thank you.

Interesting, thank you.

Very kind of you and welcome to the hobby! My main advice when choosing colours is probably to pick shades that are brighter than they are in real life in order to help them stand out on such small models. Also to begin with, don't try and paint too much detail or worry about extra highlights until you start to get a feel for painting at that scale - this will also depend on the manufacturer as you will need to get used to how they have sculpted the miniatures. Have fun!

@@thelastbattalion3509 Thank you for your quick response. Would you be kind enough to give me some advice on paint references? I've looked around the web and found a few lists but I find the colors of your figurines really effective and accurate. I admit that it would make it much easier for me to get started. Best regards

@@ShelleyDuncan-p6e thank you.

Oof, good question it's been a while. I think i layered up a few at a time. Pretty sure VMC Sky Blue ended up being the main tone, mixed into a darker shade and then also with white for highlighting. Sorry I can't remember more.

@@thelastbattalion3509 Thanks anyways. It keeps me going. So I will paint the unit this week.

@@pieterschouten8879 enjoy painting them, I did.

@@NandiCollector I enjoy a good Pz IV also.

The exclusive colonel figure you get if you buy three boxes together as a deal from Perry.

Thank you.

@@provjaro Thank you.

@@provjaro Thank you!

Yes that can happen, I found I had to trim a little off the torso and/or the arm to change the angle to help them fit together.

I honestly could not at this stage, I have not tried any out.

They're French equivalents painted as Italians.

@@thelastbattalion3509 Ok good to know thanks

Thank you very much.

Yes you might be a little bit limited by that factor. They do have bows as an option - see the 'Samurai Shooters' box instead.

Thank you very much.

Check the title of the video.

I couldn't answer that with any degree of accuracy I'm afraid.

I used Revell Contacta plastic glue, which I use for all sorts of plastic miniatures.

Glad you liked it.

No particular rule set, perhaps Blitzkrieg Commander but more likely GMT's Panzer!

@@thelastbattalion3509 so I could use crossfire for this basing?

A mixture of places I think the most recent addition was summer and winter grass mixtures from 4Ground - if I’m remembering that right, but they’re not in business any more.

Fauconberg, yes it is. A member of the Neville family.

Glad you liked it.

Thank you.

Good luck, hope it goes well and you enjoy it.

25mm

Awesome, glad it was useful.

You’re very welcome.

Thanks, yes I've seen those around the place they do look nice. Fortunately I have a good stock of Adler figures to work through for some years to come yet!

Thank you very much!

In the end I very carefully clipped the spear tip off, shortened the haft and then made sure both pieces were levelled. Superglue did the rest.

I know, see the description.

@@thelastbattalion3509 Well, shit happens. Did you glue it so tightly? Maybe approach it gently with a knife?

@@thelastbattalion3509 Also (sorry) your archer would have a lot of difficulty drawing an arrow from the quiver...

I’m sure they’re not perfect in their design but they work for me. I think I remember reading or listening to something that said as the Ashigaru professionalised over time, what amounted to an arming sword became more common.
