On the workbench - April 2025
Well a fair amount of time was taken up painting last month, but it wasn't the usual as I was helping with our local community pub refurbishment, so a slight drop in progress, but I plan to get working on the following before some family visits

Francis Marion - The Swamp Fox
This was one of Wargame Illustrated's Giants In Miniature produced during their brief excursion into producing STL files. I printed a foot and mounted version of Francis Marion, the swamp fox in 20mm but as can be seen with the comparison with my old Airfix general I should have increase the X and Y dimension slightly. Maarion mounted is on the right dismounted on the left.
I based my colours on an image of Francis Marion in uniform , but I suspect most of the time he was not so brightly or smartly dressed
At least he adds something unique to my AWI rebel forces.

WMMS 2025
An especially early start with the clock change saw Andy, Si and myself trek south to the West Midlands Military Show. I was completely underwhelmed by the traders and ended up with no booty at all. Andy and Si did manage to pick up some bits especially from Tiger Miniatures, which had some interesting sets of figures (link)
At least this year I didn't forget my camera or phone, so on with some pictures.
Battle of Bras - Operation Goodwood with Rapid Fire Battle of Raab 1809, nice to see some Italians in action Vietnam action in 28mm Normans in Sicily AWI, mainly British and French German Peasants War, had a good chat with Simon Chick Seven Years War Russian Civil War Tony Dillon's take on Plancenoit played with NapPoker

More Napoleonic skirmishers
Another batch of Napoleonic units completed, all 3D printed and they seem quite robust with the exception of the few bits I inadvertently damaged while removing the supports.
French Flanqueur-Chasseurs of the Guard
Italian 2nd Light Infantry
Tirailleurs of the Guard
Voltigeurs of the Guard
The Guard units will obviously be used to replace my existing HaT figures that I have been using and the Italian light will go with my new Italian brigade.

More Napoleonic Italians
Another pair of battalions to add to my Napoleonic Italian Brigade, now up to four battalions.
That complete two battalions for each of the 1st (on the left) and 4th (on the right) Italian line, now all I need to add is some skirmishers
Just spotted while posting, I forgot to paint the drumskins, now fixed

New Napoleonic Italian Line Infantry
The latest 3D printed "replacements" for my old Springwood figures is a pair of Napoleonic Italian Line Infantry Battalions from the first and fourth Regiments
