Good evening everyone I have started to add the latest units to my Peninsular war armies – French Line Infantry in greatcoats. I intending to add 8 battalions to my French Army – the first battalion is available for viewing on my blog link This unit was painted using the speed painting technique on greatcoats I showcased a few weeks ago – Beige or Brown undercoat and Black / Sepia wash The whole unit took me about 6 hrs (excluding spray priming, varnishing and basing) Edit – the link on the previous post was to my admin page, but I was unable to edit it by the time I realised!

Nicely done. If I were to start over- I'd do my line infantry in greatcoat and campaign dress.
Stonewall also has really nice figures, superb range of Napoleonics- excellent service and nice guy to do business with. |

Very nice. I especially like the way the grey overcoats came out. Impressive. |

There were worse items of uniform than the Pokalem But not many. Almost worth its own thread…but that Prussian very similar thing, that looked like a pork pie on the head. What purpose did any headwear without any peak possibly serve? OK, I admit, there was also that Royal Armoured Corps helmet trial for tank crew in WWII. |
