Perry French Infantry (Vistula Legion) - WIP+1
Managed to get most of the work on the Perry guys painted up as Vistula Legion. Just a few more things to paint, but I had to take a break due to my left shoulder blade and lower back giving me trouble.
The Warlord Games Vistula heads seem to fit the Perry figures quite nicely. Anyway, hope to get them done in a couple of days - after resting my back and shoulder. In fact, painting increases the pain, particularly in my left arm and shoulder blade area. Well, enough of my sniveling. Wishing you all the very best during these trying times!

Hope you recover from your injuries soon. You continue cranking out beautiful figures, Dean. I look forward to seeing these completed once your back and shoulder heals.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan! I'm not exactly sure how I got the pain, but it has something do do with my left shoulder blade - then to compensate for that I started having lower back pain. Hopefully, it'll go away soon. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteFast recovery Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! Appreciate it. Dean
DeleteGet well Dean as soon as possible! As far as I know Vistula Legion did not use different pompoms for the companies. They used the colors of the Duchy of Warsaw, i.e. black or white for fusiliers, red for grenadiers and yellow or green or yellow and green for voltigeurs.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for the info, Bartek! I'll repaint the fusiliers' pompoms white. I thought I saw something like that before. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteThose figures are coming along pretty nicely Dean. Five star paintwork as usual! In the meantime I wish you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike! Appreciate the kind words. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb infantry, great details on them Dean...hope you'll feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Phil! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful work Dean, hope the pain eases and your back on the brush soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray! I think when I paint for extended periods, my posture goes really awry and then I end up hurting my back. Best regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome work, Dean! I hope you get well soon
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vasiliy! Appreciate your kind thoughts. Best regards, Dean
DeleteNice work Dean....I do love Napoleonics but they are a real commitment as a project 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Yes, it was like my arm is hurting, but I still have more straps to paint! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLooking great Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Michael! Best regards, Dean
DeleteDean get well soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Dmitry! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteNice work Dean. Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Scrivs! Best regards, Dean
DeleteGet well soon and get back in duty, Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Sergey. I hope to get them done by the end of the week - maybe get about 20-30 minutes in over a few days. Best regards, Dean
DeleteWonderful job. I had bouts of both shoulder and back pain that limited my painting--understand what you're going through. Hope things resolve for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed! Yes, I think my posture and hand/arm positioning during painting sessions either caused some it, or at last aggravated it. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThese look excellent Dean. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Simon. Appreciate your visit and kind words. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteKeep up the great work Dean
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
Thanks a lot, Matt! Best regards, Dean
DeleteThese are stunning work Dean , the colours really pop out of the page. Hope the shoulder pain resolves itself quickly, it's a real bugger getting old isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ross. Yes, the physical stuff reminds me that I'm a lot older than I think I am sometimes. In fact, I was using a handheld back massager (basically a ball on the end of a stick), and thought hey, this is the stuff grandpa and grandma used to use! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteVery fine looking troops, Dean, and hopefully your case of miniature painter's rhomboid myalgia subsides swiftly!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Peter. Yes, I hope to recover sooner than later. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteI remember painting up a division worth of these in 15’s back in the day. I can’t remember the manufacturer’s name, minifigs or old glory, failing old age memory. Ahh well the point is I like these, I hope you can struggle through to see project to the end.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I bought my Wife a stand up sit down desk that sits on top of her regular desk. It’s a brilliant design and easy to swing up and down with a simple fluid motion. Sounds like you might need something like that to help out your ailments. I also have a friend that has a stand up desk he uses for painting and it helps him.
One thing I highly recommend if you go that route is buy one of those mats to stand on as it’s huge for comfort of feet and legs. I’ve played vassal games online and it helps me to stand up without leg pain.
Cheers
Kevin
PS
If your interested I can share with you product names so you can research it for yourself.
Thank you very much for your suggestions, Kevin. I also have scoliosis, which makes standing for extended periods uncomfortable. I should better in a few days, I hope. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely progress and I hope the back and shoulder are better soon!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you very much Iain. Warmest regards, Dean
