Almost finished with the 42nd Highlanders for Volley and Bayonet. I still need to finish the base; so far I'm not happy with the placement of some of the tall grass. I'll probably pull and reposition some of the grass and need to add some rocks, lichen and static grass.
The dead French Soldier is a hard plastic miniature from Perry Miniatures' French Napoleonic Dragoons.
The pictures are not great as I'm working out focus issues and lighting with a new camera.
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Nice work so far; maybe the tuft of grass on the front right (as the figures are mounted) might be better shortened - so you can see the advancing Highlander better. Otherwise, very nice. I will have to look at the basing for Volley & Bayonet. Dean
