French Napoleonic The Old Guard

 Final post for 2025. This is 31 posts for the year which is a record for my blog and for the first time exceeds my target of 26 posts a year. My previous best number of posts was 23 in 2021. A good year for the blog.

The Old Guard Battalion rolls off the painting table.

Painted with a mix of contrast and normal acrylic paints.

Bases still need to be flocked.
