chasseurs à pied (ww1 28MM ) ClintB

chasseurs à pied

When my mate Matt asked me to paint them I had no idea what they were. To be totally honest I still don't. I an told they are WW1 French (I knew that) Light Cavalry that rode to battles on bicycles! Some clever clogs will no doubt take great pleasure in informing me. Feel Free.

Anyway here are a mixture of 24 Renegade and Scarab miniatures. First shown in big clumps so you can see them all together, then in small clumps. The conditions are not good today so forgive the pics. the short days and rain all day have not been ideal, but they are finished and they are now on the challenge blog.

You never know there may be extra points for the pigeon and the cat. Lets be honest the cat just wants the pigeon for a snack! It is a single piece casting so I would not give me extra points!

The Two figures on the right are Scarab all the others are renegade Miniatures.

I have also included a pic of what they are supposed to look like. (at the bottom.) so that is where all te colours have come from rather than paintings or black and white photos.

All I will say about the painting is that highlighting dark blue and shading dark blue is fine in the summer but of little joy in the winter But they were done for a mate and I did owe him a favour so all's well that ends well.





 Her are the WW1 Re-enactors where I selected all the colours from. So If I am wrong then so are they! (only the ones with push bikes! Not the Rouge Pantaloons in the back ground!)

Now I can go back to painting Zulus!!! Painting Dark blue in the dark when Ill is not recommended! ( Maybe I am the only one who thought it was. Now just checking the hairs on the palms of my hand!!!! They are all there!)Muhahahahaha!

MilesR: These 24 very smartly done figures will net you a well earned 120 points - made even a little better since they're painted up for a friend
