Well here is the first of those August 1914 Belgians I have been talking about. The line infantry are Irregular 6mm Sardinian infantry from the Italian Wars of Liberation range. The command group is from their WWI Austrian range. I have painted the three figures left to right as a staff officer, a general and an officer of lancers in field cap.

Terrific stuff !

Strange to think that this stuff has been lying around in my garage for at least 10 years. Behind them you can see some Sardinian infantry waiting for a Belgian paint job.
Nicely done, DP 8)

What a great idea DP. I already have Early Brits, Early and Late French and Early Germans so these would round off the Western front nicely. I keep meaning to get a Russian Division as well so I can do Eastern Front but at the moment that's quite low on the list as The Mongol Project is still ongoing.
Great paint-job, DP. If I have one reservation about the figures it's that the pose is a bit Napoleonic. Not that there's anything you can do about, of course.
Well that's 1866 for you. I have cut the bases up so that when they go on their permanent bases they will look a little less parade ground.
