Fantastic job creating the impression of a mass of uniformed troops by applying the right paint to the right places and skipping what can’t be reached or seen directly. I had to watch this one on the TV instead of the phone, but they are unmistakably French line by the end!
These look great! Question, how would 2mm models like these turn out if I scaled them up 150% to 3mm to print? I ask because I have some 1:600 Ironclads and Gunboats I'd like to roughly scale match with some ACW troop models.
Yes those are supports used in the printing process. I use them to create a "stick" while painting them but cut them off with an exacto before baseing them.
I'm not sure you mentioned it but do you use you "Stovepipe Shako" infantry as French as well as British. Great stuff by the way! I've started to put together some bases for Blucher.

REALLY NICE 2mm miniatures. Great job!
3D printing is getting so much better. With postal charges these days it going to save me.
Once again, very inspiring. Now if I could only settle on a set of rules that has what I want. Whatever that is... :)
"And I thought i was crazy with my 6mm stuff 😅

I've seen guys do it and they look just fine.
@@Aaronfromprojectwargaming Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply.
may I ask what blue you are using? and any chance doing some figures that would work for Austrians ?
Yes I plan to do Austrians this year. I think it's a V Prussian blue on white primer
What about the problem that the figures seem to set on top of relatively large stilts? Can one cut those off?

No I use the non "regular" shakos for the french
This comment is 3 months too late, but do you prime them first, or will the paint hold its own?
I always prime them.
Who makes these 2mm miniatures? Can you get buildings too?
Link is in the description. If you want them printed by someone else there are a couple of folks who can do so.
I've never seen anyone CHOOSE to put paint in a GW paint pot....
Ha. So true.
