Classic Toy Soldier Napoleonics: French Infantry 25mm

I have two commissions cooking at once. In addition to Mitch's 15mm ACW army, I'll be painting 25mm Napoleonics for long-time patron Glenn Drover. 

We're going to tackle the Napoleonics in batches, and the first batch is French line and light infantry. Glenn wants the classic David Chandler / Jack Scruby / Don Featherstone look, with block painted troops sealed in clear gloss.

These 25mm Minifigs certainly look the part! I took these photos of the raw paint jobs. I'll leave the photos of the completed units to Glenn on his blog.

New Commission : 15mm ACW

 

It feels like ages since I have painted any American Civil War figures. Mitch Erickson comes to the rescue with a new commission: Heth's division on 1 July 1863, all based up for Fire and Fury Regimental! The figures and bases arrived today.
