Thanks Ian, I thought you'd like this given the period. More to follow and you never know I could be tempted by a Franco-Prussian War round figure. Will you be at Sword & Lance?

Very nice Roger.
I like the subject and your painting is what your painting always is, first class.
Great work Mate.

Thanks very much Bob. If you decide to give flats a go and need any help finding figs from your period of interest just give me a shout and I'll try and help.

Cheers Keith. I'm on a bit of a Franco-Prussian War obsession at the moment, more coming soon.

I have been given volumes one and two of the old Cassell's History of the War between France and Germany. I think that there were twelve in total.
The massive number of superb engravings is very inspiring and has lead me to purchase the Pegaso French Zouave 1866-85 sculpted by Carl Reid.
I think that I too could be a bit obsessed.
Cheers,
Keith

Oh I don't know.... I might. Maybe a 54mm mounted figure?
