1/72 Napoleonics and Red Devils

Feeling a bit unfocussed recently, so been doing a bit of this and a bit of that. Here we have a box of Hat Napoleonic French light infantry, which are needed for the ongoing Waterloo project:



and a few Italeri British airborne. Sculpts are okay but Esci sculpted some goofy poses.


And my dog looking sad because she has only been on two walks and had one breakfast so far today.

I must be nuts, it's bad enough to have some armies in multiple scales (e.g. 1944 Brits and Imperial Romans I now have in 3 scales each) but based in multiple formats within the same scale. Aieee...
