Cabinette Wars

 WiP Crack Away...

So, after the Tolkien interlude it's back to some more traditional wargame figures and a work in progress shot.

Yes, it's back to some vintage 20mil Naps, with a few interlopers in the shape of some 28mm Napoleonic Norwegian Ski Troops, who just need the milliput covering the arm joints filed down before undercoating.

The 20mil Naps are a mix of Hinton Hunt, recasts of the same, and some S-range Minifigs, one of whom is destined to become King Joseph.  These were mostly bare castings but a couple did go through the bleach bath to strip off old layers of paint.  The cleaning up for these was straight forward but while doing so I noticed two of the three Young Guard Voltigeurs advancing with musket at the trail were missing most, or all, of their musket butts.  So, out with the soldering iron and then a lengthy grinding process with my Dremel.  Normally I file solder additions with my mini hand-files as it's gentler, but the butts were in too awkward a location to allow easy file access.  I'm fairly pleased with the end result.

A few more figures are still resting in the bleach bath which has turned a fairly revolting shade of green.  

Hopefully, this means the paint is coming off, as a couple of the figures (to be revealed at a later date?) are having a second bath after their paint jobs proved pretty impenetrable first time around.
