Very interesting site. Have bookmarked it for future use.

Thanks!

Those are very nice looking figures. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Hmmm....  ;)

Had a painting spree on Saturday, which rarely happens and managed to finish my Cuirassiers. They are on white horses, which is a bit unrealistic for an entire regiment, but what the hell!

Here is a couple photos of them based, though the photos are a bit too dark and fuzzy.





Here is a link to closeups of the troopers before I based them: https://i.imgur.com/epGqI7J.jpg

I had hoped they would come out better but with so much detail... well, not as well as I had hoped.

On the brighter side, I finished a flock of sheep!  :D



I'm presently working on a different piece of terrain and we'll see how that comes out. After that a couple regiments of Zouaves!

Cheers!

Those are both brilliant.

Nicely done, white horses notwithstanding.  I like the pose too - that's what cavalry should look like.

Beautifully painted, white horses notwithstanding!

As to the pose - too static for my tastes. I like my heavy cavalry modelled in the final moments of a charge ... or dead. The latter only for enemy units, of course :)

Lovely, including the woolly friends. I like my heavies static like yours and my lights in full flight...

Never mind the cuirassiers' white horses, us sticklers for historical accuracy want to know what breed the sheep are. Bleu du Maine, perhaps? And what about the dog's pedigree?   ;)

Lovely work, Ray - I'd be proud to have such figures on my wargame table. (The cuirassiers and the sheep both.)

Oh nose! I was afraid someone would ask and to be quite frank... IDK!  :)

The painting is lovely, but that dog is as big as sheep! No wonder they do what it tells them.
