Marines of the Guard

[Captain Sibourne]

After a long stint painting British squares, my Waterloo project has turned to the French for a while. Here are my Marines of the Guard.

Hope you like them, they were fun to paint. The figures are mostly Hinton Hunt, Franznap and Hat conversions, mostly from the Brunswick set with plumes attached.

Now there's something you don't see too often They look fabulous!

I fully agree with your choice to put them in full dress; life's too short for boring uniforms.

Marines? Does that mean those are seahorses?

I adore the toy soldier style of painting. Fantastic sight. BB

Another tour de force!

Real nice work on these figures!

Excellent work again! How have you even got room to store all the completed squares and now these?!

[Captain Sibourne]

Thanks everyone, on the question of storage, most my figures are in boxes but once they get transferred to their bases I put them in plastic tray boxes as follows:

Wow! That is even more massive!

That´s quite an army!

[Rich W]

Impressive! Wouldn't want to be the one having to hoover near that high pile of boxes...

Great collection of Waterloo figs. And a good way to store them in a save way.
