Great BradPitre, nice paint job. One thing is strange on the picture, it seem that the face has been "added", like something flat glue to the head... I think it must be a kind of "illusion d'optique"

Hi everybody !!!! and this is the first French line battalion, this is the 1 / 54th line under the command of battalion chief Guyot ....... 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the 1st Corps of Drouet d'Erlon always so difficult to paint these French, especially on this scale, but what fun !!! eric

Well done, great miniatures. Very much like the battalion sized base, with 4 ranks. What size are bases you use?

Thank you all for the encouragement !!!
for basing, 1 infantry = battalion 1 cavalry = squadron 1 artillery = battery
the French stands are 20mm front and 30mm deep English stands are 40mm front and 15mm deep (20mm for rifles) the cavalry is on the front 20mm x 15mm deep An artillery battery of 8 guns is 40mm front and 20mm deep (30mm front if the battery has 6 guns)
