I thought of that after googling the name and this came up - I quote - OC. Amerigo Vespucci Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian-born merchant, explorer, and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is derived. He became a Castillian citizen in 1505. Between 1497 and 1504, Vespucci participated in at least two voyages of the Age of Discovery, first on behalf of Spain and then for Portugal.Wikipedia- 268 replies

So my next stage is to do the staps White on the muskets then the Black gaitors and shoes - then a bit of dirt/dust on the bottom sections of the legs (remember the ground was muddy from the previous nights down poor) OC.

You should do a christening party when you name her - perhaps invite some of the gang round from here. OC.

Evening all, still more progress this evening - I worked on the hands and Muskets, only took me another 3 Hours to do the group, I wont put any pics on as they must be quite repetitive - will wait till all of the Tirailleurs are finished. OC.

Thanks Ken, I am quite looking forward to working with MDF its all laser cut but I will super detail it as Its a bit 2 dimensional, I will be adding a floor in the farm house - so I can put some of the figures firing from the bedroom windows, also with some of the brick detail (its flat so I will try to show the mortar lines better) I will probably work on each section while they are flat before I glue the sections together. Then there will be the painting/weathering to do. OC.

Hiya Kevin, no mate still a fair way to go yet - I am about a Third of the way there - I am hoping to make about 100-150 figures, it will be quite busy in the space I have - but that was how it was back then. OC.
-
Some news (exciting I hope) when I have finished these bunch and now possibly the drummer boy - I will be (wait for it)..........be starting on the farm complex - base - scenery, I will have to rearrange the table to create more room as the base is quite large at 3 feet by nearly 2 feet, and I still need room for my lamp. OC.

Thanks Mark, I have been able to track down the painting details for them for each unit in the 54/55th ligne regiment, so I should be able to include even just the one. OC.
-
Thanks Edward, I might include one then. OC.

I have a couple in my stash - I will have to find out if any where close to LHS during the attacks - I have not read anything so far about any drummers being involved in the attack. OC.
