Looking good so far, nice to see your re-booting your Napoleonic's, look forward to seeing more.

First completed base of Guard Fusilier-Grenadiers. Not too bad, maybe the whites need a bit more shade. I do need to get a shift on though, far too slow.

40mm is definitely the new 28mm

The next regiment on my re-boot. 3rd Swiss. Command base first, just another 30 figures to go which, at my current speed might be ready by 2028. My missus bought me some Perry stuff for Christmas, I like them so far.

Yep like them a lot, great work

The Swiss are one I am considerign for my extra French unit along with Paris Municipal Guard or Italians. These look lush.

And then there were 2 bases of Fusilier-Grenadiers!

Even more progress. One of the advantages of working at home at the moment is being able to finish work and, rather than a joy sucking hour and a bit commute home, I walk 20 steps to my painting desk.

Fusilier Grenadier Command Base (flag and last base to follow) and half a line battalion finished.

I need to finish off a Spanish Battalion next, then the 10th Chasseurs a Cheval, I haven't painted horses for years.

Sadly, back to the office next week and a return to slow progress.

Just got around to perusing this thread. Great stuff! Well done...

Finally finished the Guard Fusilier-Grenadiers. Pretty pleased with how they turned out, just a fannion to add at some point.

Need to take a break from Napoleonics and get some more war of 1812 done. I think I’ll combine the threads into this one to make it easier to report progress.

On the painting table I currently have
44th foot - 42 marching figures and 6 figure light company skirmishing
Another Maryland Militia Regiment - 42 marching figures
US Light Dragoon’s - 10 figures.

The next instalment of my War of 1812 forces, the first third of the 44th. These guys have already been through a bit of a trial - there were some really awful castings in this batch, which took a lot of cleaning up and some repairs, then I managed to accidentally spray them with Vallejo gunmetal when I squeezed the tube too hard and the stopper came out and so I had to repaint 8 figures to some degree.

Just 6 or so bases left to do. Then a Maryland Militia battalion and US Light Dragoons.
