Thanks Ron

Chasseur green's a lovely colour,
I think you and I should paint some more of 'em

I hope you can boast some more progress soon with your mounted vignette.

I bought Lasalle at the scale model show but need to finish all the other stuff before starting another green and red figure

 

[peedee]

Mmmmmm you say that Ron,

but I'll bet you a beer it's been out of the box and you've had a test fit !

I know I couldn't stop myself if it was mine !

Enjoy

I'll be using yours as inspiration.

Great job Paul. The photos look great but I remember the face looked even better in the flesh so bet it's stunning now it's completed. I'm not going to Euro so hopefully will get to see it at another event soon. Best of luck getting it down there.
Cheers
Mat

Very nice job Paul! The chasseur green is well captured The modeling fraternity owes a lot to Géricault come to think of it, starting with that excellent representation by Ray Lamb on the cover of the Historex catalogue ages ago.
Pity I can't see it in the flesh , but Euro once again collides with the annual big airshow here tomorrow with PdF and Frecce Tricolori and hamburgers and beer and and ...
Cheers,
