    My Good Man, how many of these handsome Saxons do you have left to paint?

    Outstanding brushwork!

    How about a group photo of the entire lot? That would be something to see!

    Another spectacularly done Saxon unit - almost too handsome for words!

    I can't wait until you get to the Cavalry, Phil!

      Thanks Pete, Saxon Cavalry packs arrived a few days ago! 4 (12 figures each) regiments, Three x Chevauleger Regiments (one Chevauleger regiment will be armed with lances for 1813) and One Hussar regiment.

      cheers

      Sleep?

      Perhaps Phil is the cobbler of Grimm's fame and has elves working feverishly each night to produce such wonderful works?

    All these white formations will certainly stand out on a green wargame table, and i agree with above comments, you must have elves working for you round the clock!!!

      No painting today (or night shift) for my elves :o) it's Labor Day here in the US and after a union meeting, the "Elvenites" demanded a day/night off or else they will all go on strike during a public holiday..brilliant strategy by my elves (whispering to myself, so much for my early in the morning poor humor)

      Thanks Chris all the best!
      cheers,

    Another great looking batch of Saxons. I was just looking to order a couple of battalions to paint up because of you! ;-) First things first though...

      I'm Sorry for being a bad influence! :o) to you...well,perhaps once you get your figures you will paint them up better than my campaign/dirty/fatigued" looking Saxons! ;oP

      Thanks Jason!

      I'm thinking of doing extra work on my Saxon Grenadiers (still look funny to me without plumes) My idea is to drill holes on top of their shakos add on wire use green stuff and design/sculpt my own plumes?

      Thanks Lawrence!,
      cheers

      Thank you so much Christopher for your kind words..much appreciated!..

      I wanted to work on the Saxon Corps ever since the beginning of the year but my Renaissance Landsknechts project was holding me back, as matter of fact, I totally lost the plot painting Landsknechts units and decided to abandon the project! and moved on to Napoleonic's - something I wanted to do and be different for a change..

      cheers,
