British Light Infantry

My latest unit to take to the field is a Napoleonic British Light Infantry battalion.  The figures are 25mm Minifigs, recently purchased from Calivar, who have taken over production. The castings are lovely, with minimal cleaning up and a joy to paint.

These figures, painted in my 'toy soldier' style, used a mix of Humbrol, Revell and Tamiya gloss paints.  Due to the long drying times they took a week to finish.

  1. Hi Bob,

    Lovely paint job as ever - your style really suits Minifigs very well indeed.

    Any plans for a review at some point?

    All the best,

    DC

    1. Hi David, thanks for your comments, I might well conduct a spring review of my Napoleonic forces and do a head count.

  2. A cheeful, glossy toy soldier style! Hard to go wrong with that.

    Best Regards,

    1. From over three feet away you can't tell that they are gloss - just a colourful mass on the table!
