Greetings…
Here are some more French for this project… The 1st Paris Municipal Guard.
First off… a group shot.
Once again these chaps were a joy to paint…
I am pleased with how they have come out and they make for a nice unusual ‘French’ uniform.
The Tunics are… Foundry… Forest Green 26B.
The Trousers are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh.
The Officers Trousers are… Citadel… Doombull Brown.
The Facings are… Citadel… Evil Sunz Scarlet.
The Officers Blanket is… Citadel… Mephiston Red.
The Packs and Muskets are… Citadel… Mournfang Brown.
The Water Bottles are… Foundry… Boneyard Shade 9A.
The Water Bottle Straps are… Citadel… Skrag Brown.
The Shako Covers are… Foundry… Moss Shade 29B.
As always everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and highlighted with the original shade plus some extra highlights and work on the lighter colours and faces.
The figures are Perry Miniatures…
The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...
The bases are as always…
Something shiny next…
All the best. Aly.
Splendid, I particularly like the colours on the jaunty looking officer.
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil…
DeleteHe does have a simple sartorial elegance about him…

A refreshing change from Blue. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stuart…
DeleteIt does make for a different French look.

A very unique look. The amazingly rendered details on the shako covers and the backpacks really elevates the look as well. Wonderful brushwork, as always!

Very nice Aly, the Paris Municipal Guard seem to be a popular choice for 40mm Napoleonics...Roger at GaPa GNW blog site has also done some of these...his are grenadiers and look rather splendid too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith…
DeleteThey are indeed a popular choice…
I have seen Roger’s work and I may add some grenadiers to my collection… it would be rude not to.😁
All the best. Aly
Lovely job - as usual!

Beautifully done Aly, love the slightly red cheeks of the office a glass to many of sherry perhaps
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt…
DeleteSurely for officers… sherry is one of your five( or more ) a day.
All the best. Aly
Nicely done Aly. When do we get to see the Mounted arm of your 40mm collection? :)
ReplyDeleteI have a few more infantry units to do… and then there will be a real need for some cavalry…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Superb Aly! Interesting unit choice as well, I do like the Foundry Forest green, it's of my favourites and nice to see on a unit.
