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:-)

You can't beat a proper pink facings - or is that Amaranth?

Stryker said...

These are the last of my Poles so I will be putting away my pot of Foundry "Shadow Pink" now, sigh...

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...

Nigel - they do look like fusiliers now but to see how they looked originally go here http://hintonhunt.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/pole-volts.html

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.
