"Soldiers of my Old Guard!" (AB Figures 15mm)
« on: June 06, 2019, 09:42:06 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:

Tres jolie!
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

I thought the same from the first glance. Gorgeous!

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

They are reenactors pretending to be 15mm figures!

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