mike_arnold Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I always thought the Roayl Artillery figures were by far the best Airfix Waterloo figures and your paintwork proves the point excellently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Kavanagh Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 You do a splendid job with painting these little figures, Ratch. Very impressive. When you say you had to "steal some heads", I take that to mean you transplanted heads from other figures. Assuming these figures are that awful rubbery plastic, what adhesive did you use?

Ratch Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks Heather. I had some HaT Dutch Infantry that I wanted to change into South Netherlands (Belgian) Infantry with Belgic Caps. I used Roket Cyano Glue Gel by Deluxe and it has worked well 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 I finally got around to mounting these two old sets of 01743 Waterloo British Cavalry. Some slight re-touches were required, but they didn't take long.15th (King's) Light Dragoons (Hussars)http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666608.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666609.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666610.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666611.jpg 18th (King's Irish) Light Dragoons (Hussars)http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666612.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666613.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666614.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413666615.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Another restoration; this time 01736 Waterloo French Cavalry (Cuirassiers). I couldn't find all the figures from the set, but I have gotten around to re-painting them.http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413674227.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413674228.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24789489/413674229.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm not about to propose this as a new release, but am I right in thinking Airfix never included the "95th Rifles" in the OO series Napoleonics?

Ratch Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks Charles, many of these are old sets that I acquired over the years and am currently repainting, though I do have a complete and unstarted Battle of Waterloo (A50174) Set to get on with too.I have copied this method of mounting figures for paintinghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24784563/413694006.jpgDrilling the holes is tedious, but it does help to reduce the retouches due to handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 I need some Grenadiers to go with the Fusiliers I have recently done from another manufacturer. The Airfix French Infantry are not ideal but can pass for them. I shall repaint this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
