Another year without much progress...or so it seems! For the last few years I have been much in doubt whether I would be able to finish this project due to a lack of decent early French infantry figures. None of the available French sets offered enough decent figures in marching poses compatible with the HäT British.
Now this dirth of good sets seems to have come to an end, HäT have released testshots for both pre- and post-Bardin regulation figures including flank companies in greatcoat and a pre 1812 command set. Pictures of all these testshots are shown below.
Now when these Frenchies are released in earnest, I will buy a load and get planning and painting in a more serious way. So for now, yet again, you will have to be content with just a small peak at a possible future although the sun is shining more brightly on this little horizon at least. In the real world it is a bit more grimm...
Cheers Sander
Sounds like things have come together, good luck sir!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Fran, yup I am actually in the process of doing a first-time experience: making a painting schedule. We'll just have to wait and see how that works out.
VerwijderenIt just goes to show that if you wait long enough good things happen, time to start saving Sander.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Michael, yes one would say so... I have started saving up, but I dare not calculate how many boxes, and thus how much money, I need to save up...
