Misses thinks I'm crazy but I've always wanted to micro-scale sharp practice

I'm planning a Pendraken 10mm project but Adler have made it easy to try 6

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

As someone who has painted 15,000+ Adlers, they are wondefully done.

If you have any Napoluonic French I'd be interested in seeing them, particularly those in greatcoat, one thing about buying Adler is the lack of pictures on the site

Gawd they look horrible up close - but that is not how we see them on the table  ;)

The grey coats line fusiliers and I've used FN44c I think.  They blue coats are my Marine Artillery and I've used FE4C from the Early Empire Range under the Revolutionary troops. I've also included a shot of a batallion of Marine Infantry.  All are awaiting flocking.

I think I also responded to you on LAF about the Facebook group with pictures of lead strips.

While I'm focusing on British at the moment I also picked up a handful of French to test paint

With French get your line companies in great coat with Shako covers so they are basically grey with assorted brown and grey shakos. Do the liger and grenadier companys in standard uniform.

It's kinda my plan but they will all be light infantry and in a mix of greatcoat and campaign uniforms

With luck and a decent paintjob the voltigeurs and carabiniers will stand out enough

I do Napoleonics in 'popular perception' uniform, not the overcoats, or it is just lines on brown facing other lines of brown.

This is relatively small numbers so half a dozen mixed in should add detail rather than make it dull
