French Line Infantry for BGK!
« on: August 30, 2012, 07:54:30 PM »
Bear with me  ;)

Really looking forward to BGK and looking to get into it in a big way, I want to be able to do the whole eastern front from beginning to end, Ive got the early war Soviets covered so I need to add to them, my main opponent has the early Germans covered so I need to do them from 42 up.

So to finance all this I have decided to bin the current Napoleonic project, I've already sold the Brits I've done for a tidy sum and now I'm painting some of the French to sell as well.

So here is the first of three Battalions, one Line, one light and one Swiss and I might do some cavalry too.........







Going on ebay now.

Here is the 2nd unit I've painted to sell in order to feed my BGK habit, the 4th Swiss Regt.







I was going to do a unit of lights next but I going to see how these do on ebay first, if they go for more then the line did I might do another Swiss instead.

One small thing, didn't swiss grenadier company soldiers have white shoulder tassels not red like the frogs did?, might be remembering something else knowing me though.

Oh well, its a tiny thing, I just imagined the contrast would of been better, but if I was the buyer it would be a microscopic niggle compared to the quality of the painting.
