Well I did.
I actually finished a unit, first time for at least a couple of months. Amazing what a touch of laziness tempered with a lack of focus and a four week holiday in the sun can do to you.
So, here are a group of 12 Huron Indians sans leader as part of my Sharp Practice French 1755 force.

Note the embedded magnets.
What do you think guys?
Hi Jim. Wow great job! I love those minis and you did a fine job painting them up. They'll no doubt be counting coup in no time.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the French force is not far behind but I have no British yet.
DeleteThey look great! I like the sabots, too. Nice for the gaming table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fitz, sabots are the way to go now.
DeleteHi, I base my figures on 2p's and use Warbase sabots but didn't realise they also made them with magnets embedded, does it make a big difference to the stability of the figure?
ReplyDeleteYou have to put the magnets and sabots together, both supplied by Warbases.
DeleteA 1p based figure is quite stable, I'm not sure about 2p's.
Looking sharp. Just the sort of gentry to put the wind up any self respecting Mohican.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to have a real Frenchman (unfortunately now a UK national) push these about the table as well as the French Canadians I am busy painting at the moment.
DeleteNice work Jim and a good sized project to get you back onto the production line. Did you drill out for the magnets or did it come like that from those nice Warbases people?
ReplyDeleteThe sabots come pre-cut from Warbases.
DeleteI am doing a little 'how-to' for my blog, watch out for it.
Thanks Jay.
ReplyDeleteA rest in the Florida sun has done wonders, pity that it rained so much.
