Hola Josema, Muchas gracias, me alegro que los dibujos te gustaron. Bastante trabajo, para los tios y todos los cacharros que tenian (sables, medallas, gorros, bandas,cordones, que aqui todavia no he metido). Un saludo Marcello

Hi guys, Thanks to all. I'm very glad you liked my works. I choosed yesterday to put them in memory of my father, died three years ago. After many years of drawings for my personal pleasure or for joke, this work was the first one I published, but he was already passed away and he could not see...

Hi to all, After one year of walking in this side, I decided to show off some drawings of mine, to which will follow also some photos of (-badly-) painted figures, and, in the section "References", some threads on the Napoleonic uniforms, a basic knowledge to introduce whoever will be...

Hi John, Thanks so much for your words. I'm glad if my information are useful for you. But referring the project I said, only you and Roger have demonstrated some interest, so I must think it over before to charge me with a demanding job if the PF menbers are not enough interested. All the...

Hi to all, Thanks Roc for the thread and your words. Thanks Roger, I know you are my fan. I am walking in this site since about one year, giving notices and information to whoever put threads on Napoleonic subjects, but perhaps some of you asked themselves: Who is this man? And because he is...

Very well Milan, Now I recognize a good cavalier. Your theme is also complicated, I bought some books on Samurais, and their costumes, their philosophy of life, their way to fight are very interesting. And the armours...a real enjoyment to paint. I'm a bit ticklish about Samurais, if you looked...

Hi Milan, What did it mean: I'm only a painter? If you have an historical interest putting this question, it's already a good sign, you are not only a painter. By the painting or the sculpting of figures, you must entry in the history. I believe it's more interesting to know what man you have...

Hi Paul, Where is your delicious frog? Eaten by a crocodile? Or did she became a Prince? Do I remember well about your avatar? For your question, I give you a link very interesting if you don't know http://www.samurai-archives.com/ I hope you'll find there the notices you are looking for...

Hi Colin and Glenn, In the Consulate period there was a Corp simply named "Cavalry" (heritage of the Monarchy), and only the 8th regiment carried the cuirass since a Century before). On october 1801 also the 1st regiment gets the cuirass, beginning the hystory of the next cuirassiers. Within...

Hi Glenn, If you want make a general, you have the Pegaso's subject Etienne Champion, Count of Nansouty yet ready. He's a little expensive perhaps, but the quality is at high level, and the kit includes the wooden base and his plate. And the hard job of transformation is not necessary. Watch...

Hi Glenn, If I understood well, you would make a cuirassier officer with bicorn hat, isn't true? Well, I must say you that only the generals of this Heavy Cavalry Corps had bicorn hat, the normal officers of whatever grade until colonel had the steel helm, similar to troopers, but rather...

Hi Bruno, Thanks for your answer, I already thought the figurine was well researched, perhaps with your help, even if I know Sergey too is a Native Americans studious. Yes, I read about the Warrior Societies among the Plains tribes (Cheyenne, Lakota, or Arapahoes for example), so, when I...

Hi Sergey, Nice sculpture and very dynamic pose, a pleasant figure to paint. I have only a doubt, that I would clarify for my personal knowledge. Is it normal a spear so richly feathered for a simple Wolf scout? Or could we think him as a member of a War Society? Thanks in advance for your...

Hi Jason, For what I know, this painting represents a French general of Division, not a Marshall. That grade explains the sash, which is correctly gold with little signs of red, giving the orange shading, while Marshalls had gold with white signs or embroideries. Also the black feathers on the...

Hi George, I don't know because Perry made this strangeness. Pierre Louis Binet de Marcognet was a "General de Division", then he had two rows of gold embroideries, one edging the collar and another just below, as all the French generals. Regards Marcello

Hi George I see...Jerome had this sash on a white jacket when he was still King of Westphalia, but on 1815 at Waterloo he was only...the brother of Napoleon, then he dressed "simply" the red sash of LH on the blue jacket, as the other Generals and Marshals present in the battle. Let us see...

Hi George, Nice painting, considering also the size of the figure. I think Perry Miniatures are really fine subjects in 28mm, very pleasant to paint. But why the sky blue sash? Jerome created the Order of Westphalia Kingdom on 1809, when he was the King of that Country thanks to his brother...

Hi Roger, Do you know the story of this? The prancing horse was choosed by Baracca because he was an officer of Cavalry Corp, as almost all the aviators of WWI. He was an ace of that War, having scored 34 enemy aircrafts. On june 1918 he died, for a rifle shot of an Austrian infantryman. On...

Hi Chris, These are two adc. The man with the bicorn hat is an adc of a "general de division", dressing the uniform ordered by Berthier in 1807. The other figure with shako is Captain Dreux Nancrè, recently issued by Metal Modeles in 54mm, adc of general Gudin de la Sablonnière. Depending what...
