Tom has finally let me loose on one of his Neapolitan Sappers.
I hope I have done the first test piece justice!

Yet again agreeing with Phil, the horse looks just right.

Thanks chaps.

Been a while, as these kept getting bumped by time sensitive commissions.

Pink is such a strong colour choice, it's only in the C20th it became a 'girls' colour!

 

Why does Tom want the figures on such tall bases, Will ?
(If that's been asked/mentioned before, I must have missed it.)

Cheers - Phil

Been a while due to other time pressed commissions, but some more of Tom's 28mm French are done.
First off, a set of Honour Guards.

To be honest, I love this shot!

Another batch of Tom's figures, which the keen-eyed amoungst you will recognise as figures I have painted preiously. He cannot base up his or my work, and cannot cut straight, so these were returned to me to base up like the others and add the appropriate flags where needed. To be honest, it would have been an absolute joy, if Covid had not turned my brain to mush as I was trying to match flags to poles to bearers! Thankfully, that only lasted a couple of days, and I could happily get on with it after.

Colonial Compagnies de La Marine. Tom built the mound, I prettified it and added poles and flags.


They look splendid now.


Rear view


It's simple, but it works


Standards of the 23rd Foot

There's a nice sense of movement in this pair

Grenadiers de France


Standards and bases really lift these

The grenadier test piece from all those months ago




Where it all started




From above

Most impressive as always m'lud 

Those C18 French and British standard bearers are really good.

Very nice - are they on display bases, or gaming ones?
