Scott MacPhee (MacPhee’s Miniature Men Blog) just finished painting the figures for the 4 Divisions of French Infantry for my shiny Napoleonic Armies project. They arrived just before Christmas, and I finished basing them.
My basing scheme is 6 figures per base, which represents a regiment. 4 regiments + a divisional command stand = a division.
Scott did such a great job with this toy soldier style paintjob, which is going to really ‘pop’ on the tabletop. I really love the bright colors and glossy finish (I gave them a second coat of gloss to really make them shine using Floquil Hi-Gloss).
Figures are current Minifigs; Flags are GMB.
These are a colorful lot, indeed! The Minifigs are a classic sculpt and fit your Shiny Toy Soldier look perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThey will be a nice foil against the more workmanlike Prussians, Redcoats, White coated Austrians, or Green Tunic-ed (if that is a word) Russians.
DeleteAs I wrote above, each stand of 6 represents a regiment, so I had each figure represent a company. This means that each stand has 2 elite and 4 fusilier companies, each with unique plume or pom pom colors. That’s partly what makes the line infantry look so colorful.
ReplyDeleteThey look great all ranked up, Glenn! -Scott
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scott!
DeleteThey really do.
