Look forward to seeing those. Have you come up with a way of creating chasseurs/hussars?

[Pavlovs_Dog]

Certainly nice and colourful as they ride off to battle .

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice sir.

[Leman]

Been giving the French Chasseurs and Hussars some thought. May be possible to do them using the C19th Italian light cavalry figure with a bit of filing, eg. the epaulettes would have to go, but then it's basically a paint job giving the Hussars white braid and the Chasseurs black braid.

Now lets see if I can work out how to post images on this forum:







If  this works I'll post some more  of the  army  so far !

you seem to have got that. They look suitably enthusiastic for summer 1914. Soon learnt their lesson though.

Ah ... nice targets for the Germanic machine guns.

Good stuff. Good  to see more WWI. And to see that I'm not the only one using easily war French with late war Germans!

Also takes me back to see chalk roads and trenches - used to do that many years ago.

Thanks for looking Fred,  I promise I will paint my early war  Germans  I expect them to be done by 2018 at the rate I paint!

I put  the trenches down to chalky soil in the region. 

All the best,

Jerry
