Spanish Infantry...1812

A clean and well excecuted vingnette. Sharp finish!

The sculpt and posing is pretty good and that always helps. Very nicely done little piece!

Figures do make a nice break form the norm do they not.

Go easy

"I don't paint many figures"

 Looks like you paint one every day..  You are a very good painter! Very nice painted!

Agreed, these figs look to be the results of years of practice. Very well done.

Thanks for looking & for the comments, much appreciated.

The figures came as a set & are some I had in my stash from years back.  They were released by a company called Phoenix, which I believe is long OOB.  They came as shown & were not modified in any way.  The log was something I added, it's actually real wood from a small branch I picked up in the back yard.  The kit showed the loose rifle for the seated figure resting across his knees, but I thought the log would look better & give more balance to the vignette.

Much to my surprize, this one took a First Place Award for figure vignettes at the recent IPMS Region 4 Model Show in Ohio.

Ah, Phoenix. They had some very "interesting" subjects in their Follies and, IIRC, Atlantis fantasy series.

They also had some very talented sculptors .  I never got into their Follies line of provacative females, but I do have the complete Atlantis series, unpainted & in the original bags, in my stash.  Maybe I'll put those on ebay someday as I suspect they might be worth a few sheckles these days.

 Tim Richards did a bunch of the Phollies.  He then went to Mascot Models where he did a similar ladies series, but a tad more risque than the Phollies.  Not sure where he went after Mascot or whether he's still there.

Phoenix usually had good stuff.  I have more than a dozen of the Phollies.
