I actually finished painting these figures before I went on holiday. But it was such a long slog (research, painting, basing) I couldn't face photographing, uploading them and putting them into my blog until now. It will be a while more before I can face playing with them! link These are "Magnificent little soldier co." (OG) 10mm figures. The molded flags are brilliant once they are painted. You can handle the figures without worrying about breaking a flag pole or flag. But painting them is obviously a task in itself.

These figures look lovely. Do you have any shots of the figures en masse?

I don't have any snaps of everything at the moment. Coming together the whole lot is so big I can't manage to take a good photo. I will have to work on my terrain!

Hmmm Grenadiers?

Impressive array, but I would like to have read the names of the regiments. Would that be possible? Cheers,

Hi Fred, Some of the Bavarian regiments had grenadiers. Most were in blue like the line, but one unit had their grenadiers in red. No grenadiers for the French. I will probably name the regiments when I get around to cataloging everything. Cheers Neil
