Oils Carabiniers 1812 - 40mm

[Marco22]

hi!
this a project started a while ago which took me some time to finish.
Simple , but lovely flat tin edited by the AFCFEF french association.
I just love the alltogether attitude, with the officer on the left and the trompette on the right.

exclusively oil painted, even the metal painted in MNM trompe-l'oeil style.
As you all know Carabiniers were famous for riding black horses (apart from the trompette with its traditionnal white horse).
So I tried varying the black on both horses.

Bear in mind we are dealing with 40mm figs.

hope you like it...

I don’t normally go for flats but these are just great. I particularly like the officer’s copper cuirass which is very convincing.

I do like it Marco...a lot.

I've now got some crazy idea in my head that I might even have a go at a flat. Found this after a quick search:
