It took longer than expected, but I finally finished the first of my French Guard infantry units. 24 figures on six bases (my usual choice of 25x25mm bases).
They were great fun to paint, and I seemed to end up with two drummers in the pack, which was a nice bonus. I especially like the sapper miniature with the bicorne. First time I ever painted a sapper in fact!
I have another unit of Old Guard to paint (chasseurs), two Middle Guard and one Young Guard, plus some Horse Grenadiers and Guard artillery. I'm not sure if I'll dive straight in with one of these next or pick something else and come back to them. I have other painting projects on the go, too, so I'm jumping around a bit at the moment.
I think I'll start mixing the other wargaming projects into the blog, so watch out for some different subjects in future. I enjoy using the blog as a way of keeping a painting diary, but I hope folks like to see the photos as well.
Cheers for now.
