Thanks for letting us see these, Éric. Excellently painted! I'd really like to see more – and next to the 'new' Pendrakens, if possible.
Really excellent painting.
I've never really known what to make of these figures as sculpts; some of the proportions are off (bayonets are ginormous) and inconsistent (compare some of the heads). But there's something attractive about them. "Character" is often used pejoratively as a euphemism for wonky, or else damns a figure with faint praise, but I think these figures have character in a genuine sense.
Well I think they look quite nice.
I wish my first figures had turned out that good, think of how brilliant I would be after over 40 years of figure painting. Excellent looking little chaps.
Thank you all very much !!! This is very encouraging
......... it is almost complete !!!!

Wow.
Formidable again.
Excellent. Shame they only have the Austrians to fight.
:-bd =D> :-bd =D>
Really looking forward to seeing these based up
This man is a show off !
Seriously..... Wonderful detail....Most impressed !
Cheers - Phil.
Great stuff - those are some real close-up shots as well.

Éric, They're progressing beautifully! Have you any FrT13 or FrT17, the ones with side plumes? I'd really like to see them – and beside an 1809 Pendraken, if possible. Until your photos, I'd never seen any of this range.

Good evening !!
no problem, I have two light infantry references, and I'll take pictures to show you with a new figurines engraving 1809 ..... just time to do it !!!!
I take this opportunity to ask if anyone has pictures of French cavalry 18th century, the SYW ..... SYF13,14,15 and 25 references ....
thank you in advance !!!
eric
as promised !!!
Here is an example of the three light infantry shako with plume on the side references, and two on the right are the new 1809 French engraving

I would say the major differences are
the thickness of the base (but it is easily remedied)
the former are more caricatured, but a more precise engraving .......
the news is more proportionate but more fragile
for me, difficult to mix in a single unit

Thanks, Éric!
Très belles figurines, vraiment sympa.
Hello!!

Those are incredible! 8)
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd
These are very nice! Once again, the detail is amazing!
Those are just sickeningly good. They make me want to burn my brushes (in a positive way of course :)). The casualty rounds out the base wonderfully.
=D> :-bd =D> :-bd =D>
I love that base! The casualty figure will adds character to it too
