First Centre Company finished over the weekend:

Hmm, might need to do smaller labels an more 'Napoleonic' font.. :geek:

The regiment is to 90% built, just a few light bobs are missing but another box of Perry goodness is ordered.
More pics soon.

Cheers

They're great S.P. you have been quite disciplined about painting over the weekend...unlike myself!

One tiny thing....and it is tiny.....Regt's from Essex usually have more orange flesh tones...a bit like Ooompah Looompahs ;)

Don't forget the regiments secret weapon - the vajazzle (so secret, no one is quite sure what it is!)

But seriously, they are superbly painted minis though! I particularly like the slightly darker red for the jackets.

Thanks for your comments gents!

Overview picture:

Image

To be perfectly honest I did not find it to be too impressive so I decided to add another two stands to have four Centre Companies, two Flank Companies and an HQ base.
The HQ will be adjusted as soon as I receive the ordered reinforcements (I actually run out of usable plastic British :shock: ). Guess I will add another Sergeant and Officer and remove the two Chosen Men.

In (nearly all) it's glory:

Image

Another base of eight skirmishing 95ers will be added too but I run out of GW movement trays.
But since I run out of Monster bases for Artillery as well I placed anorder at GW. The first since '07 :o

If I could only find the missing two crew for the canon.. :?

Simple head swap and they are good for Peninsular War 8-)

First coy again:

A very impressive regimental presence! Those Frenchies should be quaking on thier boots :D
The Perry's chosen men are very nice - I've got some of the larger metal ones which are half painted. Might have a go at the plastic ones some day.
