I had a very big push in December on my French Ligne, and by Christmas I managed to get four more battalions painted and based (although not flocked), bringing my total to six. My objective is to get eight battalions ready, and a battery of guns, and call it a division. Most of the minis were painted by others, some by David Davies and others are from eBay, which I heavily overpainted. I also based three battalions of young guard and half a regiment of hussars (not shown), so it was a productive pre-Festive period! Alas I had very little time for photography.
Wow Simon well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul! Simon
DeleteImpressive stuff, Simon. The plumes really set them off.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! Simon
DeleteVery nice Simon - the Perry Plastic French are simply lovely figures and I have quite a few of them mixed in with metal command etc. I am sure you have mentioned on your blog however what rules are you intending to play? Was it General De Brigade?
ReplyDeleteHi Carlo, thanks! I am going to write my own set, using some of the same mechanisms as in To the Strongest!... later in the year. Best, Simon
DeleteSplendid! I have just decided that I am never, ever going to get my Napoleonic stuff painted so it's all going on eBay!
ReplyDeleteNaps are bloody tough to paint- probably a good call, Legatus!
DeleteNice work there! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteProgress indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Aaron. This is an odd project for me. I now have almost 800 based French, with a couple hundred more on the way, but only 12 based Prussians, no artillery worth speaking of and no rules.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the year Simon. Doing far better than me - got as far as dipping some block painted French Line. Like the skirmish bases. Can't wait to see finished units.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have to put them by for a while and get back to ancients, but it has been a lot of fun having a bit of a change. I'll have them all finished by Waterloo! :-)
DeleteSplendid work, outstanding soldiers!! Thanks for sharing! :D
