And I also have painted up some 28mm WWII

Here are some pics of my Bolt Action WWII early war French.  I have 4 groupe de combat or squads of 12 men each.  I painted up the helmets in both the dark green and the khaki brown as written sources say all helmets had been repainted before the war but color pics of captured French soldiers show some in green.  So, on to the pics.....

The French Napoleonic pictures are below this one......






I really have been busy.....

I really have been busy and not just with work.  I've finished up a couple of new units.  Both Napoleonic.  I have completed another French infantry unit from the Elite Miniatures 30mm French Revolutionary range.  What I've decided to do is to start painting them all in a standard look and not in the rough campaign look of the Revolution.  That way I could use them up through 1807 which then leads me to my second unit.  I painted up another Elite unit but this is from their 28mm Napoleonic range - early Saxons.  I've painted up a unit of Saxon Cuirassier.  Enjoy and all comments are welcome.  Next on the painting table is a unit of Eureka Hungarian Fusiliers......






and now for the Saxon cavalry -





Flags for the French are by The Flag Dude.  I'm waiting on my order from The Flag Dude for the Saxons but I decided to go ahead and post pics of the figures now.  Thanks for looking.
