French Line Regiment


 I meant to post pictures of this Regiment a while ago. It’s the sister regiment to the other Essex one I posted a few months back. This regiment has 3 battalions, the third being the Essex French line in overcoats (“mostly”, also some odd left overs were drafted in, otherwise due to pack quantity constraints there would have been even more for the spares box)!! 

I thought the photos were pretty much the same as before so I jazzed things up by putting them walking through my small town building arrangement. I also focussed on the chaps in overcoats as these have some nice variety in the poses (unlike the bread and butter line infantry marching not in an over coat). Again Essex are so straight forward to clean and paint. Their stocky frames and stubby bayonets will still outlast any AB figure on the table, but they will never look as good!
