Huzza Finished !


Well Chasseurs D'Afrique actually !, this is the final unit of my Old School Franco-Prussian project and it has taken about 18 months to get it done . It's not often I pre- plan my armies they usually just grow (like Topsy) , so I'm rather pleased to have been able to keep on target with it .


I'm not sure if they should have grey horses ? - they did in the Crimea , but what little pictorial evidence I can find seem to show various shades of brown during the Franco-Prussian War - I decided to give the officers grey ones  in the end.


Foundry do dismounted cavalry figures - but they are a lot chunkier that the Spencer Smith figures , but being in separate units and not mixed they may have to do as I would like to have the option to dismount the cavalry units .

  1. Absolutely lovely. I have followed the story of this collection right from the initial plan. It has been a pleasure to watch it take shape and grow. Congratulations on its completion. I hope you have many memorable games.

  2. Great chaps!
    BTW have you seen the new Austrians?The plumed jaeger figures are superb and just right for an imagination of the 19th Cent or even as Austrians!

  5. I don't use the word "finished" with my soldiers. I say "I'm done!" Artist's sometimes use the tern "released."
