Been awhile since I did anything hobby-related, so painted up these 3D print resin Austrian Grenadiers last night. They are from Garrison Miniatures off of ebay. A very simple paint job, followed by Minwax staining - the latter really helped define the white straps on the off white clothing.
They were packaged well, but a couple had broken off bayonets when they arrived. Another one had the scabbards for the bayonet and sword missing - it looked like it was left off during the printing? Oh, and as I was painting them another figure was missing the butt end of the musket. I used spare parts from other kits to fix them. Anyway, the seller is sending me another set, which I'll paint up as Hungarians in blue trousers.Pictured below next to a Victrix figure on the right. They size up well.Pictured below before painting. Note the darker gray bayonet and scabbards on the two center figures - these were the one repaired. In fact, the guy with the added scabbards was the one that was also missing the musket butt. Maybe this one didn't get enough resin during the printing? I dunno how the process works so not sure.Oh, the reason for these figures was to add a few more skirmishers for a game next month - first game of the year. It'll be based on the 1813 Campaign - maybe something loosely based upon Liepzig. I pulled out the figures a couple of weeks ago to see how many units would be involved. Here are the pictures.








Lots of lovely figures ready for battle Dean. Happy Christmas to you and your family 🎅🏽

Thanks for the kind words, Ray. Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Dean
DeleteFigures look lovely painted, Dean. However, from other bloggers, it sounds like 3D printed figures are more prone to damage in transit.
