Thanks for sharing your display very impressive. Is that French Line infantry in the background.

I m hoping the Gordon Highlanders will be around for a while. First Legion offer so many different Naps, giving us collectors so much choice this I hope will keep the Gordons around longer.

I believe the next batch will be at the London show.

Hi

Yes that is the line infantry , I think i have more than a bit of work to do to even get close to a display like yours.
But fingers crossed I hope to add a decent number of Gordons before they sell out as I was late to the game
on the foot guards, so didnt realy manage to build any real depth.
[ luckily with the line infantry being re released I was able to pick up a few of them as they are fantastic figures.]

Thanks , yes the mirror on the back gives me two for the price of one :smile2:.
[makes it hard to take photos mind you] .The line infantry are such cool figures
I,m rapt First Legion did a secound run of these guys or I would have missed the boat on most of them.

That figure looks like a good conversation piece , you would have to be a good keen man to expose your backside with swords/ lancers and all that lead flying around .

A good keen man or the water canteen had wiskey in it

Rapt to have the new Scots arrive yesterday , I think 270 is still my favourite of this bunch
and an honourable mention goes to the figure showing the French a bit of cheek .
Just have to chip away now and add a some depth especially the kneeling figures for
the front rank.

Congratulations on the new additions {bravo}} I haven't been able to pick these guys up yet the release of the Romans sidelined my plans to have these gems by know . First legion collectors are certainly not at a loss for choices the hard part is prioritizing . Regards Gebhard

Very true , more than once when I was piecing the order for these guys together I added and then removed a Roman figure [just to have a look of course ] .
But having seen the image of the new French figures on FL,s homepage and with a fair few Naps still to get I am glad my paper thin resolve held out.
Regards Rob

Great Scenes thanks for posting them , it really brings the figures to life .
I guess the figure in question would be hoping the glare from his backside
catches the French Cavalry like deer in the headlights .
