Finally since 1989. I have been able to build, paint, mount and field the Metropolitan French Regiments which were sent to New France.

Revell Germany 18th century Seven Years War reinforcement

I returned my security officers uniforms today, and stopped at the hobby shop I go to. I picked up the new double sets they have. One is the Prussian/Austrian infantry set which will soon become British and French. The other is their Dragoon/Hussars so obviously more French Hussars and some English and French dragoons.

With the new books on the French army, I shall have Hussars, dragoons, and infantry.

I can flesh out my Quebec and Louisbourg garrisons, and flesh out the British by trimming the Prussians tricorns.
I didn't add the box art due to a glaring inaccuracy. While it looked good, I couldn't get past the fact that every soldier was carrying a percussion cap musket!!!!

October 22 2018 update

So far my infantry have been painted up to flesh out several different British and French units. At the moment, all the French regiments which were in Canada and Ilse Royale have been fleshed out.

As far as my British Regiments, I have also beefed them up with the addition of some extra Regiments for service in Europe. These include the 3rd(buffs) 32(white) and 13th(yellow) These are mostly Grenadier companies.

My Cavalry have seen an increase in units being fielded. Both the Allies and the French now have additional units to use on the battlefield. As time permits I shall be adding photos of the units.

the infantry

A crack at building Vauban fortifications.

I recently bought a building block set of styrafost bricks. The idea is to cut and shape them into what you want to build.
My project shall be to try and build the Dauphin bastion and gate of Louisbourg. I have a table big enough to achieve this.
The first thing I need to do is to figure out the footprint of the bastion and gate. As well, I shall have to see what parts I have to build the Dauphin Gate.

The business end

need to build some ramps

seem to fit.

18th century rebasing

After the last game, I noted how many of my figures needed to be repaired and rebase. No shame seeing as many of them have traveled between Nova Scotia and Asia about four times.
I started on my Brunswick troops. (Pictures will follow)
Next up were my SYW French for my Louisbourg garrison, and my Quebec French regiments. (Pictures to follow)
Next up will be my American Militia and Contentials.
Previously, I had mounted my units on popsicle sticks which really doesn't leave space for noting which unit is which.
