French line infantry From airfix, thes figures had been sitting in a pag waiting to be painted for near 30 years
I had mentioned in the last post that i had gotten a chance to paint some new stuff up and i started with French line infantry, for some reason these airfix figures stand out to me above all others when thinking about french line, a telaport to my childhood.
The next french unit i painted was the horse grenadiers, i only painted half the regiment so far but they were really great to paint
some custom work cutting off some swords a modeling the braiding and horn
i will say that i had really never been a fan of the 1/72 scale plastics but these really painted up quite well and really makes me think about getting alot more because the prices are so reasonable at 7.50 for a box of 12 cavalry.
tomorrow i will post some photos of the British i have started an am working on my desk along with some really cool flags that i made, i usually get all my flags through the flag guy but with the economy being what it is i have a hard time spending so much on flags when i cant afford the figures, not to take away from rick over at flag dude you pay what you get in return the best flags out there!
sneek peek!!

Some really lovely work there Pat. I love the Airfix French line. My first Napoleonic fig's ever.
