Hi Dee, Nice to talk with you. Paint smaller scale it's more difficult than the contrary, passing from the smaller to the bigger. The Napoleon you have is by Le Cimier, he was sculpted many years ago by Mr.Bruno Leibovitz, the actual owner and sculptor of Metal Modeles. I think he's one of the...

Hi Dee, How are you? Now in smaller scale? Well, here is the link of Historex spare parts, I give it to see all the options, then you can go to "equipements" and you'll find what you are looking for All the best Marcello http://www.historex.com/?t=5

Fantasy Hi to all, I suggest to paint the mounted trumpeter in another version, this yellow uniform is never existed. It's totally a fantasy of Knotel, and Job who followed Knotel, who drawn it so dressed. Joachim Murat never had yellow trumpeters of Hussars in the Neapolitan Army. Best...

Hi James, Good painting, more considerable looking it's your first figure. Three little notices, but the fault is of the producer and his box art. Why another blanket rolled on the haversack, while the grenadier has his own dressed? And the cord of the sabre is white, with a red knot, not all...

Hu Benny, I did not remember the photo, it's clearly visible a carbine on the figure, suspended to the shoulder belt, then it's surely a trooper. The sash is therefore white and red, while the braids and the laces are white, not silver as for the officers. Best regards Marcello

Hi Benny, I posted above again the image with the 5th Death Hussars of Frederic the Great. The links you gave are too much late, as said Roger billyturnip. The right colour for you is absolutely the black. I cannot appreciate from your photo if the figure is an officer, or a trooper. However...

Ciao Stephen, Yes, the 25th is correct, included in the set of the three regiments (with the 26th and 27th) having horizontal pocket and "aurore" facings. In this case, aurore collar, turnbacks, cuffs and straps of cuffs, all piped green. Ciao Marcello

Hi Stephen, Original position. Attention with the painting...The thirty regiments of foot dragoons were divided in fifteen having horizontal pockets and the remaining fifteen having vertical pockets. Your figure has the horizontal pockets, then you are obliged to paint it as one of the 15 with...

Hi Benny, You are walking out of Napoleonic period, your figure is an Hussar of Frederic the Great, the King of Prussia in XVIII Century, the date of the soldier is eleven years before the birth of Napoleon. However, being of the 5th regiment, he is from the famous Death Regiment, all in black...

A great feeling with our Greek friends, for me Kisifer as first. I hope this tragedy will end as soon as possbile. In Italy we had a problem like this, but luckly with only a few persons died. But thousands of trees and kilometers of territory burnt. I ask myself what terrible mind can project...

Ciao Stephen, So quickly? We told of it only some days ago...I think you had taken some holiday from the PD...Or someone is looking for you from Marsaxlokk to Cirqewwa. All the best M

Kalimera Xenofon, Thanks for the rewiew and the credits. For all the painters, some suggestions of face painting, a quick drawing I made for Danilo as choice to paint this Blackfoot. All the best Marcello

Hi Vitike, But is your figure yet finished? Generally speaking it's a likeable job, but I hope you should check a moment the bicorn hat. Besides, I see often the napoleonic blues painted very light, or may be dued to the camera light. The nap blue was really deep, so I think it's necessary...

Ciao Stephen, Finally I see it painted and finished. Fine job, he will be bought by a lucky collector. Here it's all OK, I hope its the same in Malta. Arrivederci Marcello

Hi Dennis, Nice job, I think the photos don't give justice to the figures. And expensive diorama! In money and in time. Anyway, I have one remark for the trumpeter's saddle. If you are interested to know, please write a PM to let me know your mail address, I'm disabled to write PM to other...

Hi Guys, I don't want open another discussion about the buttons, as I saw some time ago for Lee in another thread very burning, but it's the second time I see only three buttons visible on the waistcoat. Only for the precision, the buttons visible generally are to be five. Leaving this little...

Hola Eduardo, You bring up an interesting item. I would like to learn something more about old peoples of Central and South America, but in Italy there are very few books on them. And in English obviously. These books describe above all the wars and something about their life and civilization...

Hi AJ, Thats's almost sure. Pegaso will continue a series of Natives especially in the larger scale, Romeo will continue a series of famous chiefs in 54mm. The next will be..........may be Mister K, or Mister C. To be continued Best regards Marcello

Hi Guy, I think you have to save some money to get new figures, because Pegaso and Romeo want to continue the series of Native Americans, both in 54 and 75mm. Referring this figure I agree with Anders, the Blackfoot has too many muscles in evidence, the Natives were robust men ( if not...

Hallo guys, Among the new releases from Pegaso there is a Blackfoot warrior, well made by the French sculptor Benoit Cauchies, and really well painted by Danilo Cartacci. This time I left the usual partnership with MAB, giving the historical references to Benoit for creating the Blackfoot. I...
