In Recent Weeks I have been working on some Early First World War French I got recently. I am quite enjoying my first attempt at painting 10mm figures, although I am not sure I am doing their fine sculpting justice . In any case enjoy ...

All the best,

They look good to me.
They work well.
If I may be sold bold as to offer some advice, if you sift some fine sand and apply it around the bottom of bases it would hide the bulge.
Look fine to me Jerry.
Cheers - Phil.
Looking good, like Lemmey says ,a bit of fine sand or a bit of field grass around the bases works well for me,

Chaps ,
Many thanks for the remarks of encouragement, I am very pleased you like the progress so far. thanks for the tip with regard to the fine sand at the momment I am working with fine rubble dust I'll try to get it to over lap on the figures bases come the next batch. Next up will be the famous squinze-quinze.... watch out !
Don't worry, you're doing a good job on them. They're not supposed to be painted like 28s.
They look great!
And the first picture shows you exactly how 10 mm should look, A detachment of men surging forward en masse!
Keep it up!
For a first attempt you're doing a fine job :-bd
I'm pretty new to 10mm myself and am surprised at how quickly painting skill develops at this scale.
You're on the right track.
Cheers
Ry
Keep it up Jerry, definitely on the right track.
Best regards,

Here is a brief up date of some more Pendraken early WWI French I completed and based them over the weekend.

Jerry
Look forward to seeing those. Have you come up with a way of creating chasseurs/hussars?
Hi dour Puritan
They are French cuirassiers here are some pictures:

Certainly nice and colourful as they ride off to battle 8).
Very nice sir.
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 !
Jerry
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.
Hi here are some shots of of my Pendraken early war French going in to action against a German defensive position.

Hope you enjoy it ,

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
Very nice! 8)
Ditto !
Cheers - Phil
Some great painting! I can only aspire to that at present!
It is a great feeling when all thatg painstaking work makes it to the games table. Looking good.
