Dismounted WW1 German Cavalry

Well I think the title says it all. I have finished the latest batch of figures for my friend Matt, continuing his Early WW1 figures we now have some 28mm WW1 German Cavalry but this time dismounted. No one it seems makes any dismounted WW1 Cavalry so Matt converted some if not all of these before passing them on to me.


The colours have come out much more BLUE in the photos than in reality as they are a little greyer in real life. The Auto correct button does not always give the optimal result. In the end you'll just have to take my word for it. But seriously they are more grey in the natural light as less vivid and vibrant blue.

On another note I am trying to clear my painting table in over this weekend as a local club is having a painting challenge very similar to Curt's (http://thepaintingchallenge.blogspot.ca/) but only for club members and for a shorter period. As it Is a club I will be attending this year I have been accepted and found suitable to enter. So as the MHWC Painting thingy (I'll get the real name later) is about to start I will be doing a few bits and bobs for that, but not as intensely as Curt's Challenge. So as I clear the decks you can expect another blog post tomorrow.

Thanks for looking today hop you are happy and well and I will try to post again tomorrow or Saturday at the very latest.

All the best from Clint

  1. These are gorgeous. I really noticed a big improvement in you painting right before the Challenge and it is continuing to get better and better. Glad to see someone is back to the brushes after the Challenge. My painting table is calling to me and I've got to pick up a brush!

    1. I am glad you can see a difference I honestly do not even when I put old figures next to new! I did slow down after the challenge but never actually stopped for more than a couple of days.

      Once I have cleared the painting table I shall do a some very charter dwarfs which I hope you will like.

      Thanks Anne.

  2. I really like how you paint these wonderfully characterful soldiers Clint, they look excellent. Good luck with the Challenge, and I'm looking forward to seeing what lovely minis the paint monkey comes up with :-)

    1. Thanks Simon, who knows what I will end up doing. But I will start in that painting challenge later today once I clear the decks for action. Probably going to start with some 20mm Vietnam figures I got at Salute.

  3. They look marvellous. I seriously dislike taking photos and the the stuff that edits them :) Why can't they just take images of what we can see!

    1. Thanks Simon I think they do take stuff that we can see and then just try to improve it! But it can come out very Naff if we let it, and in this instance I did let it.
