Title: "Soldiers of my Old Guard!" (AB Figures 15mm)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on June 06, 2019, 10:42:06 AM

Having finally finished off the last of my French Imperial Guard infantry (it's only taken me 25 years), I've decided to dig out my (very old) Old Guard and stick them on the blog:

I thought the same from the first glance. Gorgeous!
These AB are a joy to paint!

I had to double-check that these were indeed 15mm! Magnificent painting on great models.

Well, yes... Reenactors nowadays tend to be fat  lol
But you chose the leanest for your job  ;)
They look so alive! Many congrats!
