French 7th Light Infantry Regiment

Brig Gerard's 7th Light Infantry Regiment were in the 3rd Division of Marshal Davout's First Army Corps.

These miniatures are 3D printed from Lucus' Piano Wargame Miniatures. I reduced them to 60%. Which got them to the 18mm height. 

They are painted with Speed Paint and other Contrast style paints. Plus highlights with acrylic paint.

So far I've only used my new Speed Paints.

Priming and dry brushing the under coat

 I have become a fan of "Slap Chop" under coating my miniatures. I've always primed in black anyway. Now I have added two coats of dry brushing before using a Speed Paint or Contrast style paint. In my version, I like to use a majority color as the middle coat instead of grey. For these French I used a blue. 

The next step will be priming the skin areas in Vallejo light flesh.
