Great work Daniel, the scene has a lot of charm.

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Gracias Eduardo, I have so many figures in boxes that I will have to start thinking of few scenes, I was thinking of converting few of the Napoleonics I have to convert to the uniforms worn in the wars of independence of Latin America, this is something I had in mind for a while, maybe I do a little scene of " El combate de San Lorenzo" where General San Martin got unhorsed and almost killed by a Royalist soldier.
I will need your help on the uniform reference for the Spanish troops on that, so when I start working on the subject i'll let you know .
Best regards

Very nice vignette, great work.
It's fine to see somebody interesting in "Ancient Régime" as we name this period (from Henri IV to Louis XVI), hope you have the translation of this French writers:
Jean D'Aillon, very intresting description (and very easy to read) for Henri III to Louis XIII period.
Jean-François Parot, for the Louis XV and Louis XVI period.
There's a lot of interesting details of the life in France during this period.
Hope also you have the tranlated books available of, François BLUCHE, one of the best historian of the period.
Have a lokk on Amazon !!!!
Also needed, you could find them on ebay France :
L&F. Funcken
Les uniformes et les armes des soldats de la guerre en dentelle
Lucien Rousselot plates (Le cimier France).
Diderot et D'Alemebert , l'encyclopédie, l'art militaire.
Others books intresting but hard to find :
Lienhart & Humbert plates OOP
JOB, tenue des troupes de France OOP
Equipement militaire, OOP, Vol.I & II Michel Petard
Have a look on this French website where you could find books and real items from this period.
