KenR : 28mm Mentana French Chasseur a Pied (30 pts)

Hi Everyone welcome back to my favourite time of the year, the AHPC and thanks once again to Curt for organising this wonderful event. 

I always like to try and get some points on the board before Xmas, with a load of Podcast releases I am a little slow off the mark this year and have just managed to scrape 6 figs in before festivities begin.

So my main Project this year will be Italian Wars (again) I have a mix of Italian and Spanish units in the mix ready to go but I thought I would book end last years Mentana Project with a unit of French Chasseur a Pied, 28mm metal figures from the Perrys FPW range (I'm still waiting for the French Infantry to come out).

Here we have 6 figs at 5pts each for 30 pts and they will be used as a small skirmish screen, I'm working on a main body of 24 figs to go with these. These figs are on 60 x 30 bases.

I'm unlikely to have my usual laser focus this year, I have my 1/700 WW2 Naval to work on and I have a few ships built and undercoated including the Bismark, on top of that I've been using 10mm Malburian as a bit of a palette cleanser between units recently so that might continue during the Challenge.

That just leaves me to wish you all a brilliant time over Christmas and New Year and hope you don't lose focus on the true meaning of this time of year. And by that I mean painting like mad to get your points up before you go back to work 😉

Ken, it's wonderful to see you back and treating us to your amazing Italian Risorgimento project. I really like the piping on these Chasseur's uniforms, along their loaded-to-bursting packs (must be all the wine, cheese and baguettes). I look forward to seeing the rest of the regiment once it leaves your workbench and your talented brush. Lovely work.

Welcome back to Challenge, Ken, and Merry Christmas!
