2009 Club Project

[Verlinden Demi Brigade Bust]

The Atlanta Military Figure Society painted the Verlinden 200mm French Demi-Brigade Bust for their 2009 Club Project. The French infantry regiments underwent a transformation during the revolutionary wars of the early 1790's. In order to absorb the huge number of inexperienced volunteers into the army, the old 3 battalion regiments were broken up, and each old battalion of regulars was formed up with a new volunteer battalion and the new unit designated a Demi-brigade. Each Demi-Brigade had different color facings, allowing the club members much leeway in personalizing their bust. Many thanks to Matt Springer for leading the club in this project.

One of the many things that makes coming to the club meetings fun is the club project. We work on the project together for an hour after each meeting and learn how to improve our painting by the direct interaction of the project leader and each other.
