Greetings….
Another shiny thing…
The French 6th Regiment of dragoons… Deployed as infantry…
I got these lovely Garrison Foot Dragoons from Rob Young and absolute age ago… And typically when I decide to paint them my Sarcoidosis ( look it up if you must but take my word for it… it sucks. )decides to flair up and just for fun it has affected my right eye…
It is a condition that just keeps giving
They took a lot longer to paint than I thought they would….But I persevered and now they are done.
Maybe not as slick as I would want them to be…
Anyway…Here you go.
To add insult to injury as the varnish was drying on these I discovered that at the battle of Jena there were two composite regiments of Foot Dragoons that were attached to the Imperial Guard… Meaning I could have mixed the facing colours instead of just using red… Ha! Well… maybe next time đ
The Tunics are… Foundry… Forest Green 26B.
The Breeches are… War Front (Scale Colour)… Braun SW28.
The Waistcoats are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh.
The Gaiters are… Citadel… Corvus Black.
Everything was the given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid… Then highlighted with the original colours… some of the lighter colours were given an extra highlight…
The bases are as always…

I am going to take it easy for a while as my eye issues calm down…but I have some nice shiny Irish Legion on the go… plus all the other butterfly nonsense
All the best Aly
