1870 French photos!

[Leon]

kev1964 has continued working through our late 19th C. European ranges and this time it's the French who get his expert treatment!

Kev, those are wonderful! Infinity better than I could ever do, those are amazing!

[Steve J]

Simply wonderful work and a few very, very tempting codes to add to my Imagi-Nations forces. With Colours fast approaching, time to start making a list...

These are great.

And its great to see all the figures and poses - there are a few that I think could be interesting for the TMWWBKs forces.


These guys are like little pixies with those hoods!

Ooh those Zouaves in caban are almost spot on for 1840s Algerian troops

Do they have backpacks?

[Leon]

Do they have backpacks?

They might do?!  The caban is over the top of everything but there is a slight bulge underneath it, so there could be a backpack hiding under there.

Super painting, Kev !

Lovely figures with a superb paint job!

[Leman]

Superb paint job and an excellent advert. Always wondered what the Guard Nationale figures looked like.

Thank's  for the comments chap's , I really enjoyed painting this range of figs.

It's been ages since I've been able to post or view any pic's on here or other sites as my laptop seems to be very selective in what I can do. I'm catching up slowly using my phone but with fat fingers and a small screen it's taking me ages  .
There has been some stunning painting recently , so a belated congrats to all who took part in the painting competition.

Would have thought that photos taken in 1870 would be black and white ?  :-

Get that man's coat! 

Turning to the photos .... great paintwork, indeed.    It often amazes me nowadays when looking at other manufacturers' websites how many of them still cling to the hope that you will buy their figures without seeing them. Congrats once again, Leon, for being on the ball and continued progress in your quest to show us all of your wonderful products.

To me, that's another reason why the forum is so damn useful/helpful.

If there's not a pic of a particular figure in 'the shop'.....folk (or Sir) will jump in, so that someone who would like to know what said figure looks like, gets to see it.

Cheers - Phil
