Pole Update – 2

I’m getting tantalisingly close to finishing the last few figures for the 8th Polish regiment, one or two more painting sessions should do it.

These final few recruits are the fusilier figures WN.13 Fusilier, advancing (the ones converted from the mysterious grenadier version). They are pretty well complete and just need the cross straps black lined and a couple of other bits and bobs done.

I really hope that my next post will show the entire completed unit.

    Flounders are the flat white woven cloth things that hang off the shako cords!!

    Hardly, Ian, no one will think that unless you paint them as small flatfish:-)

    pink and fish aside for a moment, what do you mean by "converted from the mysterious grenadier version? They look suspiciously like genuine fusiliers to me...

    yes..responding with the speed of an Austrian regiment in line... I see. thanks for updating me. I wonder why the creator of the strange grenadier didn't just do a paint job on the voltigeur.
