Title: 2nd Division, 1st Corps, French 1870
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 22 June 2020, 12:48:00 PM
Five years later...  ;D
While waiting, in these weird times, for other bits to arrive, I started 2nd Division.
I have all the bits to finish it, so should be 2025?

Four infantry regiments, including 1st AlgerianTirailliur regiment

you shouldn't post such pictures really... The FPW is one of the last strongholds that didn't fall to my 10mm addiction (yet...) and you're not making it any easier...
Seeing these wonderfully painted figures I always want to give them a try. But I still have an enormous amount of 6mm FPW to do!  :'(

Cheers,
Rob

Oh yes... 'wanting' is not the problem at all!!! It's the 'some' where the problem starts... :(

Great looking units - you have been on a posting spree today, haven't you!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with projects that get incremented over multiple year gaps.

This really was a 'what can I do while I'm waiting for X to arrive?' job.

Lovely work, can i ask why the artillery are based lengthways i presume?

Because each battery is half a unit width in a volley and Bayonet, and it stuck.

It also allows limbers on horse artillery bases.
