Nice first entry. I wish pictures are a bit sharper because it seems you did great job on white parts.

[The Iron Duke]

These look wonderfull! Nice first entry here! Welcome!

[Mr. Andrea]

they really look great!
I usually take pictures with the iphone and they are good. Don't use the flash, natural lights or lamps instead. I found this tutorial and the app mentioned there very helpful http://taleofpainters.blogspot.com/2015/02/tutorial-how-to-photograph-miniatures.html
That's because I want to see your fantastic figures better

Welcome to the forum. Great job with these flank company figures. I don't recognize the manufacturer. I see both style shakos.

Top marks for the painting
T. I .D , your first posting,yes you have arrived. Welcome to Benno`s Figure Forum.

A little advice. A Tip, OK?
The figures you have used can be converted into a more useful pose by giving the head a slight twist so he is facing in the same direction the weapon is pointing.
Guaranteed to improve that figure 100%.
The pose created means you can place them all in line without the bayonet sticking into the poor guy next to them. " Opp`s! That hurts." _____ "Thats a very prickly problem resolved."
___ I look forward to seeing more of your work. BB

Welcome to the forum.

I really like these. even through the fog! Detail and shading look fabulous, and there's a lot of detail on these figures.

More pics. More figures, please!

[The Iron Duke]

thank you everyone for your kind comments ive enjoyed looking at all your work for a while so i thought id have a go myself,ive taken some more pics hope they are a bit better ,bear with me ill get the hang of it all and thanks again for the warm welcome

[The Iron Duke]

thanks for the tip bb ive only painted up half the box so ill try out the twist conversion on the others thanks again

[Beano Boy]

A tiny piece of Kitchen roll just lightly wrapped around the head,and using a pair of pliers just take a firm but gentle grip and twist. Like a real head it will turn at the neck. Easy to get the hang of it.
A Warning once you start converting figures there will be no end to it T. I. D.

There are a couple of conversions that can be carried out on the Officer Pose,but they require cutting and twisting.
I will be dealing with lots of Infantry conversions on my blog and here on the Forum when I get time. Until then many of my conversions from this Actual Set can be viewed in my old topic. Work in Progress: Waterloo British Square. It`s really quicker just to Google it and add Benno`s on the end.
Happy Modelling . BB
