The 1/15e Regiment Legere and 2e Regiment de Carabiniers

Two more French 1812 units have rolled off the production line this week.

 

First is the 1/15e Regiment Legere. These have actually been finished for the better part of a week, but the bases have only just been completed.

 





Second is the 2e Carabiners. The differences between this and its sister regiment are so small that I decided to differentiate them by having 1re Regiment with their sabres forward and 2e Regiment with sabres shouldered.

 





The plastic pile is close to being flattened now, with only a regiment of dragoons and about three-quarters of a legere battalion left. I may need a top up of plastic items to see me through until the first British in Egypt order arrives in early March.

    1. I think they look even better in the sky blue tunic, but that is too late for the period I want to game in.

  4. Nice painting and units. Did you say that the plastic pile is almost flat??!! That situation must be addressed! Actually I think it’s great when piles decrease as it means you’re painting/ playing with what you’re buying. đŸ˜€

    1. The issue has been addressed...another couple of regiments of cuirassiers and some artillery will be joining the pile shortly!

    1. Ah the Britains 54s...they were my first figures too...the Guards in fact...which is why I HAD to do the Guard in the Crimea.

  6. Lovely work, and even more impressive that you managed to make such inroads into the backlog, even though there are now more figures on the way. I can't think about my lead pile as it has ceased being a source of pleasure and is now more a form of stress when I think about all the projects waiting to be done.

    1. I'd like the pile to be bigger, but I need to be a bit frugal for a while as we have had big costs in the last couple of months. That said a sugnificant order will be placed at the end of this month.
