  1. Splendid work, I must get those Rose Marlburians for my current project. I'm now finding 54mm figures far more fun to paint than smaller scales.

  2. Thanks for the comment. The big 'uns are certainly easier to see!

  3. Oh, to do Waterloo in this scale 1 to 1. You could lock me in a shed with these forever. Nice work. 54's were my first passion.

  4. 1:1 in 54mm, table size? 80x80 yards :)
    What I'm interested in trying is painting one of these again after a gap of 40 years, enamel and oils versus acrylic.

  7. Thanks guys. What's surprising is the range the various makers covered (probably still do). Found two incomplete ones from Rose, surprisingly they are Landsknechts. No doubt the urge will come upon me to do something with them.
