It has been a while since I posted anything as frustratingly I started feeling unwell back in November last year. After months of feeling awful we discovered I had an underlying health condition which sadly is not going to go away.
While I have no immediate plans to meet my ancestors I am having to get used to some pretty strong medication. I am not 21 anymore.
So, planning ahead I have begun drastically streamlining my collections of unpainted figures and kits which will never be finished in three lifetimes.
Instead I will concentrate on the one dearest to me, starting with my 20mm Napoleonic figures.
These figures are RSM95 figures (the original range sold as Pax Britannica in the UK back in the day).
These are their French infantry/ Guard infantry painted up as the Kingdom of Italy 5th Line Regiment, based on the painting guide from the Haythornthwaite/Chappell "Uniforms of the Peninsular War".
The officer is the ADC figure with a shako head swap. The figures have had a few animation tweaks to add a little more interest.
I have given them the old "Republican" flag as I seem to recall reading the roll out to troops in the Peninsular was a little sluggish. Still my favourite figure sculpts (as I may have mentioned before!).
Next up, French infantry.
