After a few days in a Sydney I am back with the red paint, but as a bit of a break from the massed infantry I have done a couple of figures that I intend to use for command groups.
These are the supplied as Marshal Canrobert, the figure given free when you buy three boxes of plastic figures. Without the need for two marshals (and there will be another two figures coming with a future order) I will use these as divisional generals. I will need to be pair these chaps with another mounted officer, when they come available, to make the divisional command grouping, hence them being unbased.
Another two groups on foot using some spare officer figures (with a fair bit of kit bashing) from the sprue and one metal officer from the Chasseur set will follow.
Nice figures and painting and look forward to seeing them paired up with other figures and based:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I hope the other generals aren't too far away.
DeleteThey look great Mark. Very crisp. At least you had a short break from painting red, but back into it now.
ReplyDeleteYes they are quite a different pose too. Certainly back into the red with a vengeance with another battalion set to be finished tomorrow.
DeleteThey look good Mark. I am currently coming close to finishing a Russian GNW regiment in red cost with yellow cuffs - looking forward to a change from them too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. I have the four foot figures done now. Red with yellow facings is such an impressive pairing!
DeleteGreat to see more officers in pantaloon rouge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan...they are rolling off the production line with alarming rapidity...
DeleteGreat job. They look splendid. And I am Digging the mustache. 😀
ReplyDeleteYes the moustaches are cool, aren't they?
DeleteFine looking fellows Mark…
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will lead their men to glory…
All the best. Aly
Or defeat...I don't know that I have ever played a FPW game where the French have won!
