French Napoleonic 3rd Line Infantry

 

The French 3rd Line Regiment leaves the painting desk.

Another unit painted in what feels to be an endless march towards completing this project.

3rd Line Regiment in column

Painted with a mix of contrast and normal acrylic paints.

Bases still need to be flocked.

10mm Figures and flags from Pendraken.

  1. Ben, this project is really motoring along. It’s tempting to say ‘nearly there’! I have just joined the Analogue Painting Hobby Challenge as a bit of ‘encouragement’ to keep my painting over the winter months.
