I currently have a job lot of Essex figures I picked up and am working my way through. This is the 19th Line regiment. The flags are TBW. I have applied some Vallejo Mat varnish on to take a little of the satin finish off. But to be honest Vallejo still tends to make my mat finishes a little satin in any case, maybe I am not applying it correctly ?
A change from the artillery, some Chasseurs a Pied of the Imperial Guard. Figures are Blue Moon with an AB drum major and AB sappers (because the Blue Moon pack is 30 pcs, a few short of the 32 needed). The flag is from an excellent flag set from TBW. In the set you get the entire French flags for the battle of Waterloo (150 flags). I even received a revision in the post the other week which was a really kind gesture.
I seem to be doing a lot of artillery at the moment. But here are some AB figures with Blue Moon guns.
Wheeling out the big guns with this one. French Young Guard Artillery (AB) with 12 pounders (Blue Moon). Looking a bit more blue in the photos compared to on the table. These 12lb guns from Blue Moon are big. They really make the 6lb guns look like pea shooters.
Small conversion needed on these AB figures. The lance was removed from one and some lace removed from the officer figure. The limber horse...
