Perry FPW French La Hitte 4 and Crew

 This set was ordered along with the Chasseurs d'Afrique. Figured they could provide the French a little more fire support in Bolt Action games.

The uniforms are reminiscent of 1st Empire ones - with current fashion updates.

The sculpting and proportions of the crew are excellent as expected from the Perrys. The paired-stripes on the trousers are nicely detailed.

Vallejo Prussian Blue was used as the base coat for the uniforms, and then highlighted with white added to the blue. Without the highlighting, the uniform would look almost black.

The next image shows a comparison next to a Spencer Smith Mitrailleuse gun and crew painted a few years ago. The two size up well-enough, but the Spencer Smith crew are in greatcoats (with epaulettes), and the Perry crew in short jackets.The Perrys also make a Mitrailleuse, but will just use this one for games.

Waiting on an order from The Assault Group for some mounted Renaissance commanders to use in the Marston Moor game. The order also includes Ottoman troops for a future project to go along with Perry French from their Egyptian Campaign range. Thanks for dropping by and checking out the post. Until next time, wishing you all the best in health and hobby pursuits!
