I posted my Hat Industrie battalion of Nassauers a few weeks ago and am now following up with the 2nd Battalion, the bulk of which I painted many years ago, consisting largely of the old Airfix French set, but have since added some more modern figures.
The Airfix French set was definitely not their best but has a certain retro charm. And because these are kneeling, loading and firing figures they are better suited to a square than to attacking French infantry at Waterloo.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks Paul, it has taken a while - I have quite a few to left to go: next up Hanoverian Landwehr. After that I think I need a break from squares: maybe Guard Marines or French Line Dragoons?
ReplyDeleteMost impressive and spectacular squares, amazing job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
ReplyDeleteWow, quantity really has a quality of its own, those grenadiers look splendid all lined up, having a look through your other posts, you have done a fine job of showing off all these units, good work on the conversions to.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan, the plan one day is to have somewhere to put them all - I don't have a big enough house and need a museum for the eventual diorama.
