Howdy, kindly people!

I'm trying to get back into painting 6 mm, guys. It's been sort of a struggle because I'm old and have every bit of arthritis in my hands. Do you think my French Old Grenadiers are tableworthy?

Sorry for the bad light. I was just taking a quick pic as I wanted to get this message out.

All feedback is good!

No, I can't see the photographs either.

However, it doesn't really matter - as long as the figures are good enough for you, that's the key factor!

Mine are daubed rather than painted working on the principle that "the paint is very nearly in the right place" and they look OK from normal viewing distance.

Neither can I, but I no longer post pictures because my old, non-technical brain just can't work out how to do it.

Anything is "good enough" from the point of view of playing the games, given you could use empty bases for gaming, a bit like the old Avalon Hill etc games that wer card counters on paper map bases. As others have said, if they work for you and anyone you may be playing against they are fine, and on the whole none of us have the steady hands and clear eyes that we had when we started out wargaming umpteen decades ago.

Now I have seen them I would say they look more than good enough. Get them on the table and play. Don't sweat the small stuff.

They are good enough, get them an eagle, a good flag, and base them well, and they will look AMAZING!
