Janner's French c.1812 Project 30 Dec
« on: 17 April 2014, 09:41:40 AM »
Last week I finished off some brigade commanders for my 1812 French in time for my second game of Black Powder - all by Elite Minis:









I may go back and add some tufts, but next up is their boss…

Lovely stuff. ;D

 I have a soft spot for the old style miniatures. They remind me of my first Hinchcliffe Napoleonic figures back in the late 1970s. :)

Very nice and full of character.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Ditto - I just wish I'd hung onto mine. They mix very well with the Perrys too (well not in the same unit, but on table anyway)  :)

Please feel free to point out any uniform errors, I'm well out of arc when it comes to this period  ;)

Marshal Ney, Col Heymes and Levavasseur based on the Waterloo Panorama:



I'm sure there's the odd mistake in there and I have replaced Heymes' leopard pelt flounce with a black sheepskin one.






Still need to do the tufting  :)
