French line infantry Napoleonic 60

 Here are two more units of mostly Perry plastic Napoleonic French line infantry 1807-1814, command is Victrix in both cases with a Victrix grenadier drummer and two Victrix eagles carried by a Perry elite figure, the other drummer is a Perry elite figure with spare drummer arms and a Confederate drum again, a couple of warlord figures have snuck into one of the units once more.

 

The eagle standards are a bit bent as are some of the bayonets but considering they've travelled across the Atlantic in a file box in the hold with only boxer shorts as packing I think that's pretty good I was optimistically hoping to paint a unit a week, so filled half my second hold bag with figures and paints, in the first week I painted these two units so was a bit worried I would run out but this week I haven't been able to paint as much and for the two weeks my wife's coming out to Jamaica I can guarantee I won't be painting any figures at all, still with a bit of luck I'll get all the figures done before I go home.

Fun and relaxing to paint, like Lawrence said recently on his blog , you get into a rhythm and know what you're doing with Napoleonics after a while, it's a bit like running, once you've got past the painful bit at the start you're just in the zone and can keep going? I'm onto another two units with Perry command, for a change ,  I don't have any flock out here so they will just have to stay flagless and flockless until after Easter! 

All the best
