Dear Graillou,

That's a fine, fine wargaming piece. Such marvellous painting of the lines and shading. Simply gorgeous.

Regards, James

Agreed some wonderful brushwork , not sure about the faces, but everything else stunning.

Wonderful figures, I just hope mine come a quarter of the way to looking as good

A fine paint job on these fine figures, well done!

I assume that the bare flag pole is left without the flag for a purpose (wargames unit/marker?). The flag carried by the Grenadiers a Cheval changed little during the C18th, and is shown on the excellent Kronoskaf site at:

The same site shows a drummer of the Grenadiers in a predominantly blue coat with lace, circa 1724. Musicians' uniforms of this early C18th period are notoriously difficult to research, and so a little artistic licence is perfectly acceptable in my book. The drummer in this group looks particularly well done.

Merci pour les compliments ,
pour eclaircir tout ça ,
d'abord je sous couche en noir donc je surligne tres peu en noir
concernant le drapeaux j'attend de le trouver !
merci encore

Great painting, very good basing and the photography spot on. It allowed us to see how good the figures are, thank you.

Such high quality painting on show with these. Well done!
