Larger sized figures

Imperial Guard Grenadier batallion finished

 I have managed to get some painting done despite this time of year (winter); being my busy time in the garden before the heat of summer returns around late September. There is quite a lot to do as I have a reasonable sized yard and I do like to grow what food I can (organically) as well as care for my various orchids and other rainforest plants.

Anyhow, two posts today as I did the figures consecutively which seems to work for me. First of all, and I know it is a bit of a cliché, but I thought my French army needed some Guard Grenadiers to go with the Guard cavalry and artillery. So here they are (figures from https://pianowargames.de/)

    Thanks Iain, I have been reluctant to paint this unit as it is so common but these sculpts are just so good.
