Time for progress

Well - once again, it's time to move my long-run project (http://zedsnappies.blogspot.de/2011/07/project-all-varieties-of-pre-1812.html) a little further. Here are the new entries in my catalogue of units that can be created by using HaTs' set of French line infantry no. 8095.

The first one is a soldier of the Baden regiment of life grenadier guards.
This guy required a lot of cutting and re-shaping work, including the use of heated cutters, etc. I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome, but the next one will be better.
Nevertheless, it's a really nice uniform pattern. And easy to paint - if it wasn't for all the little details.
In comparizon, the next two guys were a lot easier. Blue again, it's soldiers from the regiment Ile de Ré and Walcheren.
Nice and quick to paint. I still argue about that guy on the left side (Ile de Ré rgt.) - that pose looks somewhat weird. The next unit to come should be some Swiss guys, but at first, I'll have to paint something Polish, eh?
