French Napoleonic Part 5..... 28th Line Infantry

I have started painting the line infantry. I was not that happy with the results for the light infantry so have used a lot more contrast paints when painting these an I am much happier with the final product. No blobby pink faces for starters. 😂 

In 3 ranks.
The faces look a lot better, as do the trousers. The jackets are painted with normal paints.
I am going to change the colour of the pompoms on the shakos to a different colour for each base as apparently each company had a different colour. One base will remain red as this was used by the grenadiers as will the command base.

In 2 ranks

In column 

As the British hope to see them, running away. 
The curled blanket(?) and back pack were also done in contrast paints giving a better result.

Figures 10mm from Pendraken as is the flag.
