Title: 1st Division, 1st Corps, French 1870
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 15 August 2023, 07:31:26 AM
Started this project in 2013, 10 years later the infantry for 1st Corps are finished. The cavalry and Corps artillery have been despatched, thanks Leon. Will move onto 2nd Division 3rd Corps by about 2034 at this rate! 8)

Anyway...
1st Division, done!

The details are what takes the time ion a batch this size. Hand painted flags and the backpacks took about a day each!

One day I will field all the corps I own (FrenchI  now have the Guard, 1st, 2nd, 4th & parts of 5th and 7th)

All look great as usual, but there appear to be a fair few bendy rifles being waved around.
