One word . Magnifique
Hi Paul,I'm being totally honest,I used to be in awe of the great models,perhaps that's what gave me the inspirationlol, sometimes you really are too modest matey,
I hope it get's the attention it surely does deserve.
Have a another look at pic no 4, made me smile that angle, it does look as if he has the
'Drapeau pour son Chapeau' I did a proper double take.
I feel this flag debate will go on for a long time,200 years ago,can we really be sure what flags were used at Waterloo,I read somewhere recently that the guard never carried flags at Waterloo,the debate will go on I feelView attachment 202347
here the 1815 flag for the grenadier
Many thanks Ron for your kind wordsOne word . Magnifique
Many thanks graham for you kind comments,looking forward to seeing your guardThey, or should it be it?, are/is really superb. Competition or no competition, the fact that you can create art has to be one of the best feelings there is.
Many thanks my friend,no mantle I'm afraidHow's the mantle prep coming along???
It's looking like top shelf stuff.
Many thanks bob,glad you like the picsBlimey, I have got a slow internet connection today, It was like Christmas waiting to open the presents. When the pics opened I was gobsmacked, Fantastic and well worth the wait.
Nice one Brian
Bob.
Many thanks Colin,the final posititioning is still being worked onBeautiful paint sir.
I'm very curious as to how you plan to base these marvels. Tall rye to deceive the eye to the fact they are half figs, give the impression
a full figure?

Many thanks Al for your continued support for this project,I am a huge Waterloo fan and the imperial guard is probably my favourite part of the French army,I attempted to do a similar thing in the mid 80s using converted Historex figures but just never got round to finishing the piece,however I will be finishing this oneYour work honours the memory of those heroes. I am such a huge fan of this vignette............and I don't 'do' busts!
Great, Brian, just great.
Alan
Sounds interesting,look forward to seeing the picturesI managed to finish my Chasseurs a Pied dio earlier this year, using Historex, Andrea, Beneito, some Belgian Manufacturer, Le Cimier/Leibovitz[Cambronne] and a liberal sprinkling of First Legion, slightly repainted. Scratch-built some fallen bods. I'm going to try to post up some pictures,eventually. Got to try and work out some depth of field with our camera!
Cheers, Alan
Hi malc,I have that in the pipeline for next year
