Today, I managed to finish two unit of French Sailors, Falcon Miniatures, and two units of Chasseurs a' Cheval, which are old Minifigs.
The cavalry were easy, just a quick rebase. Six figures on two bases.
Two bases, each counting as one Regiment for V&B. Or two units for TPW/AGW
The sailors required much more work. They were essentially painted black with just the flesh and some muskets painted. The Falcon Miniatures figures do not have the sheepskin jerkin, rather they wear just the tunic and have minimal equipment.
I could have found a couple of officer figures but decided instead to let the matelots stay under their own leadership. I'm sure they can shift for themselves.
So far, I've a fairly good-sized force that needs a lot of bases painted green. I suppose that will be the task for the weekend, when not engrossed in study. I did break out the Big Bag of Prussian Lead to see what I need to do to get a start on The Other Side.
More anon.
Played my first FPW at Jim's house with his falcon figures.
ReplyDeleteMark, I can't imagine how many times our boats have passed through each other's wake over the years and yet we never met in person until recently. My first FPW was at HAVOC with Jim running They Died For Glory. Later on I was invited to his house, where I met Warren.
