WIP - Foot Artillery Battery

Two months ago I went and ordered the cannons to complete my French 6lb Foot Artillery Battery, so I received the Perry 6lb loading, in greatcoats, and the 5.5 howitzer firing. I really am not to keen on the Perry Guns; I will replace them with Elites or Front rank ones, but I will use them now until I replace them.

Just have to flock the greatcoats base and half way done on the howitzer crew. And I will be complete, Have a game the second Saturday in December I am getting ready for.

I tend to bounce between projects, I find I don't get bored or burned out painting the same thing all over again...after all it a hobby to provide me enjoyment and it does keep my stress down.

WIP - Carabiniers

I started work on some Carabiniers, Perry plastic models. I have two boxes but have only started to paint up one, I will be modeling the 1st Regiment of Carabiniers.

14 horse and riders from one box, I will be basing to play R2E, I just stuck them on these bases to get a good feel on how I will be basing. The plan is to have three of the figures on 70mm x 60mm bases, the 70mm front gives me enough too to avoid model damage, then squeezing them on a 60mm x 60mm base.

I plan on painting 27, three rows of nine across.

I know I need to take better pictures...working on it I hope...LOL

  

Back

I am back after a big dry spell, my father was sick and needed to do those family things that are so very important.

On a positive note I have a real good work area now

I have worked on one of my regiments, just have to finish up basing.

French Commander

Finished my first Infantry Commander (Perry Figure & Horse)

Overview

Received my paints on Monday and have been busy painting away on my infantry, but decided to finish up the commander first, have one regiment going, and working on an artillery 6lb piece as well. So I jump around just a little not to burn out on just one thing.

Four views to look at

** of note, I did paint his belt infantry blue, I think this was right, but I think I forgot gold trim

now to get back working on the companies

Horses, WIP

Two of the Perry horses that are getting close to done...70%

These are my first ever painted horses, I never tried to do horses until now.

UGH

UGH..painting is at a crawl, the paint I ordered did not come in, so I just reordered online, but I have started on the horses, and have half a box of Perry's all primed.

Mail is Delivered !!!

The Postman delivered my French Brigade today, I am much happy as now I can start working on painting.

I am very pleased with the Perry deal, ordering direct from them saved me a few dollars and it took eleven days to get to me...I will do it again for sure.

My plan is to start on six figures and see how I do them and then go from there, so I have six Fusiliers for one company, without greatcoats. the next few after that I will try in greatcoats.

I am building 2nd Brigade/13th Infantry Division/IV Corp ---  48 Ligne (2 Battalions) and 69 Ligne (2 Battalions)
