Some More Shiny Napoleonics

 Finally I have something to show. Not one but three units for the Classic Napoleonic Collection.

First off and still using black undercoat we have the Brunswick 1st Line Battalion. Tradition of London figures and flag from Warflag.

While I was at it, time for some artillery. Tradition once more for the Brunswick crew and artillery piece is from Hinchliffe.

Finally, the first of the French Line infantry; and yes, you've guessed it, Tradition of London 25mm figures once more. This time with a light blue undercoat which really has helped speed things up with my poor old eyes.

I have noticed a couple of spots that need cleaning up but this is two days work so I am impressed with my output for once.

The Napoleonic  thread will continue for the next few posts even though I should be painting additional Perry Union troops as I have received intelligence that following his besting at Bryson's Crossroads my Southern nemesis, Neil, has been busy reinforcing that darn Reb army.

      Thanks Jonathan. Actually tomorrow is the big day. I find out if after 4 surgeries if I am fixed or not. Fingers crossed!

      These miniatures are something special aren't they? A long weekend was gainfully spent at the painting table - imagine what I can get done for the Jubilee weekend!

    Great stuff! Will this project be entirely Tradition 25's or do you have other ranges in mind? I'm not sure what goes well with the Traditions, but would love to find out!

      As far as possible it will be Tradition. Any gaps will be Hinchliffe. For example the Tradition Wellington is a dismounted figure; he is currently being sawn in half to fix to his Hinchliffe mounted counterpart. Ouch!

      Thanks Ray! The figures are very forgiving of a rush paint job!

    Fine looking additions Matt. I have always took a shine to the Brunswickers in their dapper black uniforms.

    I like the Tradition 25 figure of Lord Uxbridge. Perfectly proportioned and posed
