French Grenadier of the Regiment Soissonnais

It's been a while since I posted same painted figures so to get this back on the road here are some pictures of my latest completed AWI French unit.

Again these are from Peter pig's AWI range and are packs104 French grenadiers marching and 105 French grenadiers command. They have been painted up as grenadiers from the regiment Scoissonnais. 

The only issue I had was with the bearskin - I couldn't figure out what to do with the back so just painted them all over black with a wash and highlight of slate grey with a brass plate at the front.



Just another regiment and a few commanders to finish off and that's the French done.

With the French almost completed where next? More AWI - British/American?  Or maybe 15mm sci-fi?

Thanks for taking a look.

  1. I think the Bearskin patch is the same colour as the facings.

    1. Thanks Jonathan. The French are nearing completion. Just need to find some info/pictures on generals and their mounts.

  4. 15mm? Wow, these look great and at first thought they were 28mm Foundry from their SYW range. They have very similar style and poses.
