17^th Foot





43^rd Foot





These are the final British units for this project

The Régiment de Royal Deux-Ponts is the final 'French' unit for this project, they are in fact Germans in French service

After they are finished I will do the final brigade of this project, von Voigt's Brigade, Germans in British service

Then some WWII merchant ships before I launch into the ECW

Smashing work, as always, Paul.

Régiment de Royal Deux-Ponts sorted ready for basing

von Voigt's Brigade on my painting rods ready for under coating probably Friday given the weather forecast

Went to base Régiment de Royal Deux-Ponts and realised the bases are cut out but not prepared, painted or labeled 
Rapidly prepared and should be painted later today
Will be labeled tomorrow morning so basing can commence

More work on my WWI scenario for the centenary of the Affair of Abu Tellul next month and some more research on ECW 'uniforms' instead of basing today
