I've spent the last three weeks painting and refurbishing a large number of original French Revolution and Egypt range figures from a number of recent ebay wins.
First the Egyptians etc.:
FR 20s Arab with musket
FR 21s Syrian with musket - the largest contingent in my force
FR 22s Egyptian regular with musket - these are the Nizam e Cedit
FR 23s Arab with sword and shield
I have another 30 or so of these figures (sword and shield) to refurbish/repaint but I need to get some more 1p coins to base them on first.
The janissaries are from the Renaissance range (R 9s musketeer, R 10s archer, and R 11s officer) and I am waiting for another 40 or so to make up two units.
The guns at the top of this post are Miniature Figurines but I can't identify them 100%. There is a picture of them with converted gunners on the last page of George Gish's Renaissance Armies book
The only possibility I have found is MFA 1s Medieval Siege Gun (Mons Meg) and my doubt is that Mons Meg doesn't look like these.
I also need to give some attention to possible command figures. I don't currently have any cavalry figures.
Next up, when there is some decent light and I have time to take pictures, will be the French in Egypt - surely the most colourful French Army ever.
