Prepared British 1^st Light Battalion, the first of Phillips' reinforcements

90 figures from 5 different packs, no flash, no miss-casts, about a dozen needed a little vented metal trimmed from the bayonet tip, all the bases were easy to clean up and level
Sometimes we can take this level of casting quality for granted

[paulr]

Bases for current batch labeled 

Wash done last night
Did a second wash on the Highlanders haversacks this morning, before leaving for work, to better bring out the detail

Sorted 1^st Light Battalion figures into companies, they are now waiting for the current batch to vacate the painting rods

Small clothes done for 1^st Light Battalion




Oh, and I took some piccies of the last batch

Lauzun's Legion - Chasseur and Grenadier Companies





That is the last of Lauzun's Legion that served in America. The plan was to also bring the two battalions of Fusiliers but when they arrived at Brest there was insufficient shipping and they and the Hussar's horses had to be left behind.

76^th Foot





And a close up featuring the command group

[Womble67]

Take care

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those are amazing!

[Redstef]

Impressive  but when you say "last batch " ?

[Steve J]

Blimey they are very impressive!

[fred.]

They look really good, great work again Paul.

I think by last batch - Paul just means the previous one.

[d_Guy]

There we go! Very nice Paul, love your work. 
Needless  to say the MacDonalds are my favorite in this batch (although the grenadiers of Lazun's are a close second).

[Terry37]

The new battalions look soooo good! And 10 MM to boot!

I think by last batch - Paul just means the previous one.

I do indeed
Still plenty to do in this project:

• British Light Infantry Brigade, one battalion under the brush currently
• German Brigade
• 2 French Regiments

Then I'll need to look at what comes next, hopefully ECW
