This is my newest project and also a long desired wish: a French Coach for Monsieur the General of our French army. He is sitting in this elegant coach, made by Irregular Miniatures. Its a pretty cute piece, easy to assemble and to paint. As usual, I changed some details as the coach box and placed 2 former artillerists on the rear platform and dressed them as footmen.

| Aaah, c´est comme ca... he is with his maitresse on the road.. This I call savoir vivre during a warfare! |

Wow! Very, very nice! Fantastic Modell and Photos! Would be a nice piece for a three musketeers skirmish game!
ReplyDeleteYes, Alex, great idea for the musketeers! The coach is from the Marlburian range, so that could match well. Thank you for your nice words, so appreciated!

Superbly photographed! And that carriage shot - It's good to be the King!
ReplyDeleteYou´re so right - a successful career will be planned, also in the 18. century!!

A very nice coach and the arrangement of the figures is again perfect - even the setting of the female figure ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your style of photographing with the added dust and all other things. It makes the scenic becoming very realistic.
Ach Fritz, thank you so much - hope to see you soon in the VFZ meetings!?

Ohh wow, die Kutsche ist wirklich fantastisch! Du hast immer so viel Geduld und Liebe zum Detail, sodass die Perspektiven immer unheimlich überzeugend sind!!

Danke Judy, freu mich so sehr, dass Du mir schreibst!
DeleteDie Kutsche ist einfach stark. Wie machst Du das mit dem Hintergrund im Bild? Im Freien fotografiert oder ein Poster etc. dahinter gehalten?
