I was very impressed with the quality of these figures when I first got them and a little intimidated by them as to painting. But I discovered that they actually paint up quite quickly. They are 28mm. These figures represent the Fusiliers of the Volontaires du Hainaut . Dragoons will be done later (finding the figures was a task, but I believe I have located them).

Lovely,non-stumpy figures. How fragile are the muskets/bayonets? Nice painting,BTW. The Blue is particularly eye-catching. |

Flag is paper. Bayonets are not as fragile as they appear, muskets do bend, but it is a soft metal and straightens out easily. Although I mounted them in order to protect the musket.
In researching their uniform one description referred to the color as almost an electric blue. I wanted to use a color different from the Prussian blue of the german states and something that had a French look to it. BTW- the house in the back ground is one that I pulled of the internet as a freebee.It was scaled for 10mm figures, I just scaled it up upon printing. |
