Hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoying the last few days of the year. Had few days off for holidays and managed to paint up a box of French Line. Just had to have at least one French unit in full gaiters.

I did have some Old Glory 2nd Ed. in full gaiters before, but sold them off a few years ago. I actually like these a lot better as I’m a fan of plastics, and they size up better with Victrix and Perry.

The tri-color is a spare from the Legere set. The ones that come with this Line set are the older style „lozenge“ colors. So, if you look closely you’ll see „Legere“ lettering.

The set comes with 4 metal command figures, including two officers. I swapped out one of them for a spare private. The other officer pose seemed a bit too animated and didn’t match the marching poses of the rest of the figures.

The metal eagle and „ribbons“ that come with the French infantry sets are a nice touch.

The ammo pouches come with nicely sculpted details: crowned „N“ for Fusiliers, grenades for Grenadiers and hunting horns for Voltigeurs. The set comes with only 5 „elite“ figures (with epaulettes and two cross belts) and needed 8, so I converted 3 Fusilier figures by adding Green Stuff for epaulettes and cross belts. Otherwise, an overall great set if you like your French infantry in full-dress.
