Greetings….
While waiting for my various eye operations to heal I have amassed/assembled a fair number of units for this project…
Some if not many I will paint myself… But I decided a good way to kick start things would to get my good chum Mark at Over Open Sights to paint a unit for me…

He has of course done a marvellous job…
The figures are a made from mix of Perry Miniatures French early and Late Line Infantry with some Green Stuff additions…

The bases are as always…
The Standard is from GMB Designs…

My butterfly is delighted…
No idea where it is taking me next 😁
All the best. Aly
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Very nice indeed Aly, but hoping to see a few units from your own skilled hands as well!
ReplyDeleteThere will certainly be a more than a few units coming from me in this project…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
They are rather nice, Aly!
ReplyDeleteAren’t they just Ray…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Got to keep the little flutterer happy! ☺
ReplyDeleteNeil
Yes indeed 🦋🦋🦋
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Lovely Aly they are beautifully painted , very ‘crisp’.
ReplyDeleteMark has a lovely clean style…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
They defiinitely look the business. I'm thinking you aren't real Napoleonic gamer until your have some Old Guard.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do….
DeleteI suspect that there will be more from The Guard as this project develops…
All the best. Aly
Lovely job on the unit easy to see why you are happy with them, Mark has done a super job on some very nice figures.
ReplyDeleteI am indeed very happy with them… As is my butterfly 😁🦋🦋
DeleteI suspect some 28mm Napoleonics may get pushed up the painting queue…
All the best. Aly
A splendid addition to the project there Aly!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed David…
DeleteI am very pleased with them.
All the best. Aly
Nicely done. You can see the unit in reserve, influencing simply by existing. Coalition forces will have to work that much harder.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that they will have both style and content when it comes to a fight… Unless I’m using the Coalition Forces of course.
DeleteAll the best. Aly
That Mark has got the hang of this painting malarkey. I hope that it's contagious!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly knows how to colour in doesn’t he 😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Splendid work from Mark, nice clean style and your basing shows them off a treat.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are splendid Phil…
DeleteI always keep my basing fairly simple… The toys are the stars in this show.
All the best. Aly
Very nice indeed Aly. The butterfly has every right to be pleased.
ReplyDeleteYes… A very happy butterfly 😁🦋🦋
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Magnifique mon ami!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are Phil…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Splendid. I reckon you could make a career out of this modelling thing you know. lol.
ReplyDeleteI may have to give that a try 😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
They look fantastic, I can't wait to see the what else is in store!
ReplyDeleteMark has done a lovely job….
DeleteI have quite a few units assembled… I just have to see which one the butterfly lands on. 🦋🦋🦋
All the best. Aly
Aly that is a lovely idea for a kitbash, will keep that in my back pocket. Hope recovery is going well.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very enjoyable kit bash and not too difficult…
DeleteThe recovery is going well…
My constant signed me off last week 😁.
All the best. Aly
They looked excellent before basing and are even better now!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain…
DeleteI was very careful when I was doing the basing… I didn’t want to accidentally muck up Marks lovely work…
All the best. Aly
Fantastic painting Aly, this does not help me as it's tempting me back to Napoleonics. ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH🤣
ReplyDeleteWillz.
Go on Willz…
DeleteYou know you want to…😈
All the best. Aly
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed Matt…
DeleteMark’s painting is lovely.
All the best. Aly
Superb.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are…
DeleteAnd very inspirational… My butterfly is all a flutter 😁
All the best. Aly
Mark has done a fantastic job on the Chasseurs a pied. As always, your basing really sets them apart!
ReplyDeleteThank you David …
DeleteI am pleased with how the bases compliment Marks painting…
All the best. Aly
It was an absolute delight to be allowed to paint up some of Aly's conversion work. The basing sets them off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad that you enjoyed painting them Mark…They were fun to kit bash… And base 😁…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Simply a stunning unit!
ReplyDeleteMark has done a marvellous job on these David…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Wow, they are gorgeous. Congrats to Mark (and to you for 'commissioning' him!).
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
They are indeed gorgeous….
DeleteMark certainly knows how to put paint on toys…
All the best. Aly
