"Express Miniatures does 15mm OG French" Topic

Hey All,

Just finished some Old Glory French Line infantry painted up to resemble a unit right in the middle of a strenuous campaign. They are all pre-Bardin so are perfect for some gritty work in Spain or a bloody triumph along the Danube.

I have found that though the sculpts are not as exacting as the wonderful ABs from Eureka they are just as time consuming as there is a heap of detail.

Any comments and critiques welcome.

Hi Kurt
Nice work but I've noticed the Company on the right as you look at them that they have Grenadier 'wings'/ epaulettes but their pom poms are yellow(?).
If they are Voltiguers then the 'Wings' / epaulettes should be either Green (trimmed yellow) or Yellow (trimmed green).
Cheers

Much appreciated Scott. Thank you. A sympton of the dreaded Red – green colour blindness and an old osprey methinks.

I like Old Glory. They can be a little rough, but the detail is there and some of the poses are excellent for building a unit that looks as if its struggling into battle rather than being on parade. In fact I've just ordered more OG Austrians from Timecast.

Isn't it well documented that pre 1812 red was one of the three colors the Voltiguers used in their epaulettes? Usually it was a red cresent but there was some regiments with this combination- can't reach my ref books at the moment…

Keep up the good work Xpress Miniatures!

Hi
MG might be correct.
Red trimmed with yellow.
However I thought that was the Carabineers in the Light Infantry Battalions \ Regiments.

The OG line in campaign dress make particularly good Peninsular infantry. Sadly the last batch I bought is really starting to suffer from mold deterioration.
