Tyberius Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I was given these miniatures nearly 40 years ago as a child. I had found them to give away but then I played a game of Blucher and decided to paint them.I am not sure where the folds should be in the jacket tail for me to paint the outer blue jacket and the inner white folds.Any pictures of your Airfix French Line infantry would be appreciated.I realize these are old miniatures and not necessarily all that accurate but I would like to paint them give they were given to me so long ago.This is not a period that I was interested in so I have surprised myself. I was given another 60 odd Line infantry two weeks ago as well.http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a253/kgmusic/2016/DSC04478_zpsma0e8mgs.jpghttp://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a253/kgmusic/2016/DSC04479_zpsyc8rss5d.jpgBlucher ruleslinkThank you in advance for your assistance.
