Hello All,

I plan on painting a large army for both sides.

I've started with Garibaldi's Army of the Vosges and the French Third Republic.

They have quite a lot of variety from Knapsacks colures all they way down to moustaches.
I like to add variety to my minis for variation and uniqueness but to still keep them historical.

5 bases represents a battalion or squadron.

Right now I currently have..

Giuseppe Garibaldi, Command.
1 Regiment of Garde Mobile, 3 Battalions.
1 Regiment of Redshirts, 3 Battalions.
2 Squadrons of Prussian 7th Cuirassiers

Thankyou all for your time and I hope you all stay for the ride!


Giuseppe Garibaldi and Command Staff.



I decided to edit and print out some portraits for under the personalities base.



Prussian 7th Cuirassiers









Garibaldi's Redshirts - Army of the Vosges.











Garde Mobile - French Third Republic.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback. :)

I have done the French Artillery and a battalion of Garibaldi's Chasseurs of the Alps. I just need to base them now.

Not much progress on them due to family matters. I hope to pick this project up soon.
