Shed Wars Napoleonic Project - Battle Report 6th Oct
« on: April 03, 2017, 02:41:30 PM »
Earlier this year I decided to embark on a foray into 28mm Napoloenics - now that I have actually got round to painting something I figured some of you might like to see this project unfold over the coming months. The journey will of course be tracked on my blog starting here with part 1

http://shedwars.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/a-new-project-chosen-men-napoleonic.html

so here are some pics from the second post







more very soon

A big thank you to all those that helped me in the 'wanted' section - I can now reveal the British & French Infantry Battalions for my Peninsular project - all assembled & primed (and some are even painted)

British - 12 Battalions so far


French - 11 Battalions so far

Nice bit of forward planning. Great deal on the buildings by the way.
With ref to extra horses can you order the extra sprues for collection at Salute, if you are going, save the postage cost?

I like the Dragoons...

Pink seems to be the popular (and best) colour...


All the best. Aly
