Hey Dave, thanks for the kind words and for following my SBS.
Yes, poste militaire figures are wonderful and I surely miss them,
in my opinion they produced some of the best figures in the market, they were true pioneers.

Keep up the good work.

As always, your color selection and highs and shades are right on the money. Look forward to seeing him on his horse! BTW, where is the horse?
