Yeah I know, the grenadier pompom should be a horsehair plume or a carrot but .......might add the falling plumes yet if I get inspired.

This will be unit 3 out of 6 for my French. Then maybe Highlanders will deserve reinforcements.
Nice figures , who makes them ?
ReplyDeleteThe bodies are from the Zinnbrigade Napoleonic French series of moulds. 4 of the heads are from Prince August Rosbach series Prussian NCO moulds, 2 of the heads are from moulds I made for my War of 1812 collection 14 years ago,
DeleteHighlanders always deserve reinforcements ;)
ReplyDeleteWe always went without reinforcement when wearing our kilts....
DeleteThey appear larger than they are (in a good way: I guess you could say that they render a "big" impression, if that makes sense)--it took me a bit to notice the background paint tubes and gain a sense of perspective.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the pint bottles? Oh wait you can see the oz's.
Delete40's certainly feel small after you've been painting 54's. I'm trying to remember how I used to paint 15mm French in striped trousers and piping 30+ years ago. I might need to buy some new brushes before I finish these guys!
