Eagles of Empire French Line Infantry - WIP

Just a quick blog post showing the WIP of the French Line Infantry. Waiting on the Minwax stain to dry.
Prior to the staining - block paint job. Lots of firing and reloading poses.
So much for now. Happy painting and good gaming to you all!

    1. Thanks, Scott! Yes, I must admit the uniform drew me into the period more than the history. FPW only last for 6 months - with mostly Prussian victories. Love the red pants and red kepi. Warm regards, Dean

    1. Thank you much, Iain. Yes, I think 16-figs are a nice amount to get through at a time. The sculpting and posing are also conducive to painting. Warm regards, Dean
