About the Project

Pendraken miniatures has reeled me in with their not a kickstarter for 1809 British in the Peninsula. So I picked up some French from their current range to see how I would get on with them. They arrived today and I have already banged out a unit so I think I'll be okay. The intention is to collect 2 armies and use either Black powder or General D'armee. *EDIT* I have also picked up some Pendraken ACW from ebay so they will also be putting in an appearance here!

Week six, progress so far with the french

Now up to four full infantry regiments of three batallions each,

Two Dragoon regiments,

Two Chasseur regiments,

one Hussar regiment,

Three batteries of guns.

Next on the desk will be the Vistula legion. After a bit of research I believe that they had two regiments of two battalions each, a lancer regiment and a battery.

I have all these ready to go then I can move back onto the cavalry to fill out the heavy and light brigades.

I was designing my own farm but I found this excellent one from http://www.printablescenery.com I have printed out the parts I needed scaled down to 35% in resin on my anycubic photon. A nice little build on a hot day.

Week three (I think)

I recieved a multitude of flags today from tinytintroops.co.uk these are beautiful. So much detail that I can't even see without the aid of magnification.

The flags are wrap around paper. You can see on the left the white edge that this type of flag leaves. The one on the right looks better after a quick fix.The flags are wrap around paper.

Here are the pens that I have used to carefully colour the edges. Go carefully and make sure the flag is dry or the ink will spread. Here are the pens that I have used to carefully colour the edges. Go carefully and make sure the flag is dry or the ink will spread.

I will be needing some terrain so as I  have ordered one of the Geek Villain mats that Warren was showing off I thought that I could knock up a walled farm on tinkercad. Here’s the first test print of the walls. Still needs a few tweaks and then I can move onto the roofing.

Week two, First infantry division completed.

Not as much painted as week one but the army is still growing.

I now have eight infantry battalions, enough for a division. The last two were light infantry battalions. At this point in the war they were basically the same as line battalions but with different uniforms. Plenty of blue in these guys.

Next up is two regiments of chasseures followed by a regiment of hussars.

Not so much done this week but I haven’t stopped.

Now got eight battalions painted, enough for a division. The last two added were light infantry battalions.

A lot more blue in these guys.

Next in line two regiments of chasseurs and then a regiment of hussars.

My army continues to gather.
