Imrie-Risley 54mm F&IW Royal Roussillon Fusilier - WIP

Here's another old figure that I've had for decades that is in the process of being re-painted. It is a 54mm metal figure that I originally painted back in the 1970's as a youngster. Here it is with a wash of Minwax Tudor Satin stain.
He's a fusilier from the Royal Roussillon Regiment that was heavily involved in the French and Indian War, including the Siege of Fort Ticonderoga in 1758. The unit won honors at this battle; which the French call the Battle of Carillon.

Here's the figure with a block paint job prior to the wash.
I'm now thinking of getting some excellently sculpted figures from 28mm Conquest Miniatures.

Maranatha!

    Thanks, James. Not sure if I'll get around to gaming them, but I would like a few of their figures to paint up - particularly the British Grenadiers. Best, Dean

    Appreciate the great comments, Fran and Ray.

    Ray - Dr. Who figs in 54mm? Sounds like a great scale to game them in.

    Warm Regards, Dean

    Thanks, Rodger. Same here - these are just the few I've had with me all these years. Recently decided to paint them over - waste not, want not :) Best, Dean

    That's a great old I&R figure. It's on my shelf as well.

    Thanks, Scott and Doc.

    It's been interesting re-painting these larger scaled figures using my current 28mm painting techniques - such as using the "dip" - and strong highlighting. In the days past, I used to be a lot more reserved with highlighting.

    Warm Regards, Dean
