Zinnfiguren

[Ilkley Old School]

So I have worked on a second unit and decided that I need to change my thoughts on basing and gone for a 80 by 40mm base with 9 figures.



The slight stagger I think adds a feeling of movement to the base and with an officer in front makes it look more than a thin line.

[goat major]

agreed. Plus it gives more visibility of the painted sides of the figures

I like the way the clever painting combined with the basing stagger fools the eye into thinking the figures are 3D. Very impressed!

[Panzer21]

Very nice!
Interesting that you have changed your basing to about the same size as my VnB based units which have 8 Spencer Smiths (demi-ronde) in two ranks; my depth is around 42mm to accommodate the figure bases.

Yep, you've got that spot on, Mark.

I have completed my latest unit of Zinners - they are the 4th Puttkamer Hussars.





Cavalry will be mounted five figures on a 80 by 50mm base and will represent a 5 squadron regiment.

Next up will be a tidy up of a previously painted unit of Prussians - the 17/24 Grenadiers and completion of 3 extra figures for the Erbprinz.

[Penda]

Nicely done those

[Count Belisarius]

They look splendid!

[Willz the Wargamer]

Very nice.
