French Infantry 2 for Beneath the Lily Banners

 


Another 5 French battalions based for Beneath the Lily Banners.  Above the Foot Guards first battalion, I really should do the second one too.

The Swiss, always reliable.

Zulauban's  Regiment.  Swiss led Germans who distinguished themselves in Ireland.


Regiment Famachon a Walloon formation.

Regiment Dauphin with their spectacular flags.  French Dragoons next.

  2. Thanks kindly Steve. I honestly found the figures a real pleasure to paint. Rare when you have to do so many.

  3. Nice. I like the big flags. In my case I just dispensed with the standard bearers and stuck them straight in the bases.

  4. Cheers Trebian. Yes, those ones are also stuck to the base.

  8. Very nicely done! That Dauphin flag is spectacular, isn't it? If you want to "upgrade" ;-) a couple of flags, I do have the Swiss Guards flags I can let you have (it's not on the blog yet). Is the French Guards flag mine?; I'm not sure as it looks very pale in your image...

    Cheers,

    David.

  9. Thanks David. Yes, it is one of yours. Maybe the shot had too much light.

    I'd very much like the Swiss Guards flags. I'll drop you a line at your blog.

  10. Ah, right - yes, photographs can be very deceptive! I've not had a message yet via my blog; hope it hasn't gone astray somehow...

    Cheers,

    David.
