SYW French Light Troops & Other Stuff
« on: August 30, 2023, 10:09:09 PM »
Just before Wordpress broke itself a few weeks ago, I added a few units of French light infantry and artillery to the blog:

I've also painted a load more since then, but I can't do much with the blog until Wordpress fix their 'update', so here are some pics in the meantime.  In no particular order, these are the Hanoverian/Prussian Legion Britannique, the Hessian 'Toll' Regiment, some skirmishers for the 87th & 88th Highlanders and some French units; the 'Mailly' Regiment, Volontaires du Haunaut, Legion-Royale and Gendarmerie de France:

Lovely looking figures.

+1 on the flags - how do you do them? They look like they might be printed on fabric?

I tried getting some printed on a T-shirt, but it didn't really work.

Thanks all!

The flags are actually printed on paper. 

The Legion Britannique and Volontaires du Hainaut flags are by David Morfitt at Not By Appointment and printed off by me:  https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/

The Hessian Toll Regt and French Mailly Regt flags are printed by Maverick Models.  He does stacks of options, including 'rippling' patterns and printing on cloth, but I just went for plain print on paper:  http://www.maverick-models.com/default.html

The Gendarmerie de France flags are by Frederic Aubert at Ad Hoc Editions and printed by me (there are sixteen lovely flags in the Gendarmerie sheet, so it was difficult to just pick four): https://adhoc-edition.com/en/11-uniforms-flags

SYW rules, OK?
