Hi Jason,
What exactly are you looking at it for? Uniformological or historical reference? I have a privately published copy of DeBrack's work that along with Emanuel von Warnery's "Remarks on Cavalry" are both fundamental in understanding 18th-19th century cavalry action. There is alot more to it than a modernist would think!
I have only previously seen the review that you have posted versus the actual new publishing. My guess is that is a much sexier version of what I own. I have met Keith Rocco and have his work on Napoleonic subjects. He is a very nice man with a good eye. As good as he is, no one comes close IMO to the likes of Meissonier, JOB, Belange, Rousselot/Leliepvre and most of all, the great DETAILLE. If you are looking for uniformological data, let me know and maybe I can be of some assistance. I have quite the collection in that regard.
All the best,
Jaybo

Jaybo,
Not looking for anything in particular. The artwork alone looks very inspiring. I appreciate
your offer of helping with references.
I see this is your first post. Welcome to the planet! I also notice your from GR.
Are you going to the Michigan Show?

Hi Jason,
Unfortunately, I am not able to make it this year nor have I ever attended it in the past. Actually, I just realized that it existed fairly recently. Schedule allowing, perhaps next year. Historically, I attend the Chicago Show most years with a close friend but was unable to attend this past October. It is always very worth while with truly awesome talent. I highly recommend it. In 2007 I submitted my first entries and very much appreciated the feedback. I hope to be there again this year.
Since you are a Michigan guy you may appreciate visiting our local group's website: http://thecannonreport.googlepages.com/home. Enjoy. By the way, I love the Berthier figure that you are working on. Very impressive.
Cheers,
Jaybo

Hi Jay,
Just to let you know, since you live in GR, I've organized an open painting session at Rider's Hobby Shop this coming Saturday (Jan. 10) from 1-4. It's just an informal painting session - just come and paint. It's my effort to start a painting club in GR since I moved from Detroit area and miss the club over there (MHMC). I've been scheduling one a month (except for December) since September. If you're free come on out and bring your painting stuff.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks very much for the invite. I'll try to make it out to Ryder's Saturday PM. If you go to the MCMHC website (see my previous post in response to Jason), you'll see that our group started out in 1968 as a figure painting club. Alas, I'm the only one left so it is good to know that another figure painter in the area is out there.
Keep in touch,
Jay
