Jason,
you certainly did a Fine Job of Work on these tiny Hat figures,and i like the bases too.

i remember painting some those many years ago, but not in finer detail like yours.
No not a single button got a shine!

i wish Hat industries would use plastic in all their 1/72 products like these early sets. BB

Great job. They look like they mean business and are ready for the muddy fields of Waterloo.

thanks bb i wasnt sure about them when i opened the box once i got some paint on them they really came to life ,there is a lack of greatcoated french in this scale which is a shame i might convert the HaT 1805 box with the bicorns if i can get enough heads with shakos

For some reasons I love this set, even if it is outdated compared with the sets avaliable today. Your painting let them shine!!

:yeah: I did this using the heads from those right-handed marching/kneeling/running-and-loading poses in the ESCI and Italeri "1815" French Infantry, that are otherwise somewhat useless.

Thanks vellek I'll look into that I no the early italieri set is not the best of sets so they could be the ones for the chop

It's funny how bad figures come to life with a really good paint job.

Great work! Well done, sir! :yeah:

Making some so-so early HaT figures look good - it can be done and it now HAS been done! Really nice painting and shading. :thumbup:

I painted a few of these myself. But I'd much rather look at yours.

great job on both types of greatcoat, you've made a broad expanse of unbroken drab colour look interesting.
