Hi guys Some Voltigeurs (Front Rank) and Rifles (Brigade games) finished on commission (along with some others I will show in a separate post) the 2 sculpts are at opposite ends of the chunky scale, Front rank being very chunky, and Brigade games quite skinny, although both sets are nicely sculpted and worthy of praise, I lean towards the skinnier Paul Hicks Rifle sculpts, all comments welcome.

The Rifleman is particularly nice. |

These look great, really nice painting! I like the choice of yellow for the French, it makes them "pop" out!
I think the Rifles are a nice example that it is actually possible to sculpt figures in this size with (more) correct anatomical proportions. The fact that they have thinner legs really helps that. |

those voltigeurs are chunky, but the sculpts are really fine, and the end result is great. The blue is extremely well painted. |

Front Rank are marvellous castings. Almost no lines to file away and none of the flash and those infuriating pins that we see with some of the best companies. Their latest figures are losing the excessively chunky look, but they are generally short in the leg and designed to be gazed down upon, rather than in profile. I look forward to my Rifles arriving from USA. Paul Hicks work is instantly recognisable, even if the facial expressions can look a bit despondent, or even horrified, sometimes |

Absolutely love the french uniform blue. Could i ask what paint/recipe/technique you use? |
| Gunner Dunbar | 31 Jan 2017 2:25 p.m. PST |
the blue is GW Kantor blue, add a little black for the base, then lighten up by adding a little vallejo flat blue. |

Every uniform guide I've ever seen mentions the wearing of busbies by legere voltigeurs, but I have never seen any specific regiment so described. Has anyone els? |

Widowson Not exactly the same but Knotel did a plate showing that uniform:
