Hi Paco,

Thanks for posting these piccies of your excellent troops.

I have a soft spot for Legere - think I've got 9 or 10 battalions painted and 3 more to do.

Particularly like the ones that you've shown as I've not painted any Perry Legere yet.

Perhaps a treat for February?

Meanwhile I must finish - well start really - the 8 Front Ranks French line limbers which I've just undercoated 4 horses for.

Cheers,

Paul

Very nice.

I really like your choice of blue. Most go with a color I believe to be too light.

Each bataillon is 12 soldiers size, two (or three for the 13th light) per regiments , two regiments per brigade, and two brigades per division. The first corp had four infantry  division and one cavalry.


The "french blue is very dark in reality, near black !
