In the last couple of weeks I have been very generously been given some original Hinton Hunt figures by fellow enthusiasts.
Firstly from the East. Dave V has sent me 6 French one piece line lancers (FN118). One has a broken lance so I am going to convert him to a trumpeter. These figures will bring my 5th Lancers up to full strength.
Secondly from the West I received 24 French Guard Marines (FN 94) from David C. The officer is a recast Marine Officer (FN 90) l had in my spares box. I will use a line drummer and standard bearer to complete the command.
Meanwhile on the painting table I am close to finishing 8 Prussian gunners and a couple of SHQ artillery pieces. These should be completed this weekend.

These one piece lancers are full of flair and will look magnificent painted up.
It’s always nice to get some new toys…
The Prussians look good…
I’m looking forward to seeing the Marines when they are finished.
All the best. Aly
Painting the braid on those Garde Marins is going to be tricky with them in that firing pose - you're a brave man.
Good luck.
Nice work with the artillerymen Mark. The firing Marines look like very nice castings and should paint up a treat!
Those really do look nice, both the lancers and the Marines. I need to get the Marines I kept out of the Dettol and get them all primed and ready to paint. Seeing yours all ranked up like that makes me think I might have made a mistake.. :)
