Latest French Battalion for Borodino

Here's the finished battalion incorporating Schilling infantry and SHQ/Kennington command figures. This will be the last of the Schilling infantry for the time being, until I buy some more. They complete one of the regiments that will do their duty as part of Eugéne's IV Corps.

Grenadier

Detail of voltiguer's giberne. I'm very pleased with my free hand  bugle!

Voltiguer cornetist

Middle rank including SHQ figures (Drummer & Officer)

They fit fairly well with the Schilling figures, too.

  10. I have to agree with all of the above, you really are getting better and better at this painting gig mate. That last pic of the soldier advancing, you seem to have captured a rather bemused expression on his face. Well done. The "Ducks Guts" in fact. Cheers.

  11. Thanks for the kind words, all!

    @DHC - Burkhard,I just use Tamiya acrylics for my French blue. The other ranks get Field Blue, while the officers get a better quality cloth coloured with Dark Blue!

    @Treb - Thanks mate. Learning how to take better pictures also helps! That last soldier's facial expression makes me think that he might be the village idiot who was persuaded to replace someone cleverer in the previous draft!
