Sub's FPW 6mm.

[Subedai]

Just to let you know that I've posted some pictures of my FPW French on the blog.
Have a look and let me know what you think.

Very nice; strong black lining really makes them stand out

Most impressive !!

Love the look of those!   Very impressed with the detail on the French Guard - individual lines of lace ! 

Watch out for those pesky Prusskies, though, there are only a small number of regular battalions with those white crosses on their flags, and I think they are all fusiliers with black belts! The standard Prussian infantry flag has a black cross with white corners.    OK, let the jokes commence.

Damn! I must have posted the negative of that pic.

Thanks for that, I've only painted the one battalion so it would be easy enough to change.


Actually, I can't really take that kind of credit for the lace on the guard. I just gently dry-brushed over the blue and it seems to have worked.

Very nice!

Lovely work!

[Subedai]

Thanks all.

#getagrip. I use a black undercoat on all my 6mm, it makes them so much easier to paint. Lining would take forever and beyond.

#mollinary. I've been racking my brain trying to think why I did the Prussian flag the wrong way around and conluded that it's partially your fault. If I hadn't read your post on the Landwehr flags and if I hadn't looked at the site you recommended and got it completely wrong, I could have just copied Leman's picture of his Irregular 6mm Prussians and I would have been in the clear. So there you are.  

[mollinary]

That explains it, I knew it would be my fault!

Great looking work!

Nice

I must dig out my 6mm FPW again soon!

I finished them in 2010 http://nosherswargames.blogspot.co.uk/2010_07_01_archive.html

Looking very good indeed. I'm assuming you have based up for BP or something similar.

Thanks all for the kind words.

No, I only have two sets -Bazaine and Les Gens Braves which I have had since I bought the figures, Bazaine recommends 30mm frontage for infantry so I went with that, it fits in with my plans anyway. Tomorrow I'm going to the Cavalier Show in Tonbridge so I'll have a mooch around there and see what I can find. At the moment Bazaine looks the more interesting of the two but I'm not sold on the idea of all these order chit thingyamy-whatsits behind units, I'm sure that bit can be simplified -especially in 6mm. If Bernie is there I'll have a word. The rest looks pretty playable though.

Never painted 6mm but thinking about it, that would make perfect sense
