French Marines, 1780

  These French marines cover the pre-Napoleonic era as well as early Napoleonic.  The scale is 1:72, but you should be able to get good results up to 1:150 scale using a resin printer. My motivation was to place them alongside my cannoneers and sailors (also available at this site) as snipers on my 1:150 scale 74-gun French warship. For painting my suggestion would be: coat=blue; front of coat, sleeves and collar=red; hat and shoes=black; pants and straps=white; epaulettes=gold. Both these French marines as well as the British marines will shortly double the number of their poses from four to eight, as each gets assigned also the poses of the other one :) Update 24-01-20026:To cover a larger range of situations on a warship, I have now added 11 new figures.  I hope that they are useful.  The size of the base versions of these figures is a bit larger than the size of the ordinary sailors and cannoneers (5-10%), as I usually print out my crews at 1:150 scale (half size) this hardly
