Finished now the long silence on my blog for almost 3 months, dued to professional, daily work, which absorbed all the energy for painting miniatures.
Here I have my second regiment, coming out of the fabulous Trident manufacturers, the French of the FIW and SYW range, painted as the old regiment de Champagne. I agree, that the homogenous white coats, trousers and gaiters are a little bit boring to paint, but the typical cut of them are nice and also to make one of the oldest and traditional regiments of the French army.
Enjoy the pictures, I will let follow some more post in the near future.
Superbes photos, grandes figures et une atmosphère parfaite. Comme toujours! Cordiales salutations de la lointaine République Argentine

Thank you, Alter Fritz, for your words - only the white coats, gaiters and trousers are a little bit boring to paint after the 18. figure...

Dear Paul, thank you so much for this comment. Yes, we make our infantry regiments consisting 36 figures, cavalry 16 - it matches well for the rules.

Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteNice to see more posts of your fantastic figures.
I like the way the figures are set in scene with the backgrounds. The pictures always look very realistic.
Thank you, Fritz, nice to have you here and hopefully soon at the VFZ convention?!

A marvelous new regiment. I can almost hear the order "en joue" and brace myself for the coming shock!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I hope, the French will be better organized than at Rossbach with this command words.... We will put them in duty at our next summer battle!
DeletePeter
Quel plaisir de voir à nouveau ces splendides figurines mises en valeur par ton talent de mise en scène...Bravo, et vive la Champagne!
ReplyDeleteFantastic looking regiment. I'm so looking forward to your summer campaigns.
