    Great looking Saxon artillery, Phil! Nice change up from your usual 15mm work.

      I agree with you painting/working on 28mm figures is a change for me. I think it may take me another year painting 28's to get to my 15mm level of painting style (more detail etc) and eye - candy appeal :o)

      my flocking on the gun section bases are of moderate quality :o)

      Thanks again Dean!
      cheers,

      Good work! The Saxon artillery have a handsome uniform, don't they?

      Thanks Pete,
      well if I was Frederick Augustus I of Saxony during the Napoleonic period I would have all Line infantry dressed like the Artillery crews and the Artillery crews dressed in white uniforms! :oP

      cheers,

    Wow! Your Saxon army is growing at quite a rapid rate!
    With artillery, this is becoming a force to be reckoned with.
    Can cavalry be far behind?

      Hi Jonathan, my Saxon cavalry figures haven't arrived yet... a little short on funds to purchase the figures! :o)

    Elite miniatures are another fine manufacture of military miniatures but it also takes fine paint work to bring them to their full potential, which I can see you have achieved.
    Great work Phil.

      Thank you so much Thoran!

      Elite Miniatures and perhaps in a way, Old Glory 28's, are tough (difficult) figures to paint.. I actually receive a few emails from fellow bloggers, asking me to stop painting the figures mention above :o) and start collecting and paint 28mm Front Rank or Perry Miniatures....anyway..thanks again! cheers,
