That said this does purport to be a blog about painting model soldiers and as I've just finnished painting some then here they are.
These guys are a 15mm Dutch Belgians from the 1815 Waterloo campaign. There are incidentally no actual Dutch Belgian figures in this lot (why buy stuff when I have spare figures which will do very well), there are French hussars, Austrian Grenzers Russian artillery and lots of British infantry all painted as Dutch Belgians.
The infantry brigade:
Light cavalry Brigade:

Some great looking units. Like you say why buy more figures if you already have useable ones to hand. All the best for 2014
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty, I'll be in touch when this takeover business at work is done and dusted, a bit preoccupied with it at the moment.
ReplyDeleteDave.
Great looking Belgians!
ReplyDeleteVery nice looking army!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy then!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteExcellent collection!
ReplyDeleteAlso I like the Dutch-Belgians.
In fact I'm collecting the 28mm Anglo-Dutch army of battle of Quatre Bras (scale 1: 100).
Congratulations and best regards
Simmy
Eccellente collezione!
Anche a me piacciono i olandesi-belgi.
Infatti sto collezionando l'esercito anglo olandese di Quatre Bras in 28mm (scala 1: 100).
Complimenti e i migliori saluti

Many thanks for your interest Simmy. As I've said a couple of times in the past collecting a, less than popular army can be very interesting and a change from the more run of the mill armies of the Napoleonic wars. The Dutch Belgian army actually performed quite well at Quatre Bras and should not be underestimated.
