Marlborough's British Infantry part two

Here are pictures of  Brigadier General John Webb's Brigade.








Marlborough's British Infantry part one

Here are some pictures of my unpainted british infantry collection from Front Rank,they consisting of following 10 regiments from James Ferguson's &; John Webb's Brigade's
All figures are based on larger than normal mdf 60cmx60cm this is to help protect the figures from horrible damages that always seem to happen no matter how hard you try to aviod it.
On the regiments firing i've tried to get the look of "in the thick of battle" and platoon firing stance
I think it has worked out ok with the figures avaliable from Front Rank sure going to look great painted up whenever that maybe.


Sorry about picture quailty not any good with camera even more so when camera's not mine..

Ray has spent many hours researching and researching even more and has got a fantastic army only wish mine will turn out like this one day

Having researched and read some more its very frustrating when so much information is not available
on the British at this time.
