French Foot Carabiniers

Well to all you professionals out there, I finally learned how to wash with acrylics.  I am also re-painting a lot of my old sets.  I will get the posts up on them.  You can sure tell what a rookie I am at this.  I took the French Grenadiers set from Italeri and made this conversion.  I already had the Zvezda Old Gaurd set, and they seem to match the historical size when comparing that set to my Hat industrie figures.  This seemed like a logical choice.  I took that Italeri issue set for Waterloo and re-painted a lot of those too. 

I only used a light wash for these Carabiniers, but the other sets I used a heavier wash.  I hope you enjoy.  I have combined some sets from Hat and Italeri to make Swiss, Irish and Italian units.  Those are forth coming, but I am going to re-paint my Old Gaurd set next, and wash those.  Thanks to all the more professional painters out there for publishing your content so novices like me can learn.
