Some Napoleonic French Line Infantry rebased

My first four battalions of French Line have been rebased, as before with new 3D printed command figures.

Flags are from Napflag (Warflag) just rescaled to match the figures.

I still have four more units to rebase but before I do that I have to rebase my Imperial Guard to yield a few more Grenadiers to enable me to create five battalions.

The luck of the Irish

My battalion of the Irish Legion managed to get ahead in the rework. The same changes have been made as the Legere

Napoleonic French Legere rebased

My old four battalions of French Infanterie Legere have been rebased and enhanced by adding 3D printed command figures. As a result I now have five battalions.

A close up of the command figures by Kozak, they could do with a little bulking out to better match my Springwoods, but I'm quite happy with them as they are.

The clear out has started

I spent some time deciding what to keep and what should go. The result is a big batch on ebay (link)

I had decided that I needed a major purge of my 1/300 collection, so all my WW1 and WW2 are going together with various other half started projects. I decided to keep my Ancients and Dark Ages forces for playing DBA when space is short and also my ECW. I also kept my 1/600 SYW armies.

In addition I started on a cull of half started projects, redundant figures and forces that I suspect I will never use again.

The God of War - Soviet heavy artillery

I've finished my Russian M1937 (ML-20) 152mm artillery guns and crews that I had 3D printed, these are to the left, to the right are a pair of my older M1943 (D-1) 152mm guns that I decided to use the new 3D printed crews with and replace some old plastic conversions.

The crews are a bit chunky, but it is not so noticeably in their cold weather clothes.

On the workbench - August 2024

July has been an interesting month as I have been trying and failing to get my new FDM printer working. Creality eventually sent a replacement but that had the same problem so it is now waiting to be returned. If anyone has any recommendations for an FDM printer please let me know. Everything I planned for July is completed so in August I will be working on:

• Rebasing my Napoleonic French Infantry, at least four units each of Ligne and Legere
• a pair of Soviet ML-20 152mm guns and crews all 3D printed
• 28mm ECW gun crew again 3D printed
• Get started on the heap of 3D printed vehicles
• Continue with more French Infantry rebasing
