| 19th Regiment in Line |
Now the 55th regiment

| 55th regiment in line. Only one photo for them. Widely known to be an ugly bunch of blokes so very few pictures taken 😂 |
Painted with a mix of contrast and normal acrylic paints.
Bases still need to be flocked.
10mm Figures and flags from Pendraken.
Painting Progress
210 of 300 Infantry 10 units of 30 Completed 70% nearly there.
55 of 55 Skirmishers 5 units of 11 Completed 100% YAY!
60 of 60 Cavalry 4 units of 15 Completed 100% YAY
9/36 of 9 Guns with 36 crew. Completed 100% YAY
5 of 5 Command stands. Completed 100% YAY
On the painting table now are the Old Guard Regiment.
Still to do are two regiments of Grenadiers.
The end is in sight!
Looking good again Ben. Excellent progress with these figures overall too.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Thanks very much James.
DeleteI agree with James, you have really worked your way through these figures in a pretty short period of time, Ben. Look forward to seeing the entire force, fully flocked, on parade!
ReplyDeleteKeith, putting the pressure on me!! Hopefully it won't take long to flock them.
DeleteGood progress continues! You call these regiments but basing and Pom Pom colors suggest this is a battalion. Are you amalgamating several battalions into one regimental body?
ReplyDeleteOh dear Jonathan. You have caught me out again with my ignorance on display. 😂 I shall call them Battalions from now on.
DeleteThe information from Pendraken on the flag sheet say they are regimental flags so I will not be amalgamating them for one regiment.
I did have the idea of amalgamating all the bases with the same pom poms for a photo shoot of a Battalion in march as the number of figures would be more like reality.
Did the Battalions each carry a regimental flag? Or just the first battalion of each regiment? Thanks... hopefully I can refer to them as the 1st Battalion of the xxth Regiment.
The regiments are looking good, and so close to finishing as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Nearly there.
DeleteGreat end of year result, the rewards for hard work are coming through :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm. Getting close to finishing them. As a reward I will then need to start on the British 😭 😂
DeleteWell done mate they look ace. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks JBM. A Merry Christmas to you and your wife and your chickens. I hope the chickens are not being "invited" to join you for lunch. 😂
DeleteWhat rule set are you basing them for? I thought they were 15mm at first, quite fine looking for 10's! If your painting habits are anything like mine, you'll take a year long break from them now that you are almost done. =P
ReplyDeleteI just base them on my own standard for all my armies. 40mm frontage for infantry and 30 mm for cavalry & artillery.
DeleteThanks for your kind words on the painting. I will probably take a break once the French are done before painting the British. Hopefully not a year but I would not be surprised. 😂
