A new month and this month the theme is Egypt (again.)
If all goes to plan then I should clear a number of the older figures languishing in the spares box and a couple of unfinished units before the kick of the Bronze Age Infamy Infamy project.
First up French Fusiliers of the 88e Demi Brigade in Kleber Ordnance.
With regular supply channels restricted by the English Navy the French were forced to adapt their uniforms to the new environment.
The original skirmish units were hijacked and recruited for the Haiti Project, so these chaps have been drafted in to support the line regiment.
Figures from Perry's Egyptian range.
Nice looking figures Stuart.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, they have been hanging around for years :-)
DeleteGood work, Stuart!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan.
DeleteNice figures Stu and good to see 'Egypt' on the painting table again.
ReplyDeleteManaged to find a several units which definitely need to make it to the paint table. They need to be completed before the launch of the new project.
DeleteCheers
Stu
Great looking minis, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteHi Stuart- This is a good Project that you have chosen- very interesting British and French Uniforms there. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteMy original French were in a pale blue, so the red certainly gives a contrast for the skirmishers.
DeleteCheers

These are very nice Stu - I have always liked the earlier Republican/Napoleonic uniforms - they have a dash of style about them!
ReplyDeleteEgyptian Tailors Keith :-)
DeleteAgreed the earlier period certainly has that dash of style.
Cheers
Stu
Nice work and another project getting some attention 👍
ReplyDeleteDesperate to launch the new project but must control the butterfly :-)
DeleteAmazing job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bart.
DeleteGood stuff Stu!
ReplyDeleteNice to see French infantry in something other than blue tunics!
Looking forward to see them in action.
