 8) Love the contrast with the braids and the red pelisse is very nice indeed.

OK, I tried not to, but: I think the correct term for the garment is Dolman. The Pelisse is the furlined 'jacket' often worn draped over the left shoulder.

Sorry, I'll get my Busby....

You must, you must!

Go on - paint some up, display the pics here then sell them for a tidy profit.

That way everyone's happy  ;)


More great figures, Schogun. I don't mind admitting I love Napoleonics even with the more anal types it can attract.

"Busby"? Isn't that where you stand and wait for the bus to come by?  lol

I like Naps but I try not to be a button counter about it. Perhaps if I just said 'jacket' instead.

Heheh... been doing 1:72 Napoleonics since I was 13 or 14.... Button-counting goes by the trade....  ;)

Yeah, I know. It's taken me a while to get over the OCD aspects and fear of being judged by the other button-counters and just get things painted and in play whether the minute details are right or not.

Hell, most of the details I can't even see on a 25mm figure, let alone 15mm, so I skim over them.
