A couple of F&IW Frenchies from Thunderbolt Mountain... Sculpted by Tom Meier.

And seen in situ...

Notionally, they're 28mm, in fact they're probably a bit more like 32mm, but just to point out how remarkable these figures are - here they are at roundabout actual size ;)

Stunning paint job :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Are you sure they are only 32 mm they look a lot bigger.
Your big river looks like a little stream now lol
-
That is one fantastic paint job :-*
-
Beautiful miniatures and paint job. :-*
-
As said elsewhere, these are beautifully painted and their style is very interesting. They certainly don't make the impression of near 30mm miniatures.
-
Just stop right there, it's not fair. How can you paint a (large) 28mm like that and not be 28mm yourself :(
Wonderful stuff though Richard :-* :-* although I don't want to paint any of mine anymore ;)
cheers

Richard, seeing these miniatures painted by you really is a great pleasure.
I do not know many painters that are able to do the sculpts of the grand master of sculpting justice.
You do. Without being arty-farty.
Thanks for sharing these highly inspiring pictures!

I am utterly flabergastic at those, everything is perfect
you will have to give me a tutorial sometime :D

Stunning figures with a stunning paint job... Bastardo! ;)
-
They really are a visual treat. :-* Fingers crossed that you have more on the painting table.
-
Well done Captain! Just as nice as Oniria's, although in a totally different style.
-
Beautiful painting :o
Er... the Thunderbolt Mountain website say they are 1:48 scale, that is bigger than 28 mm
-
Nice 'true scale' miniatures rounded off with a brilliant paint job. Top notch!!

Left to right - Front Rank (true stubby 28mm), Galloping Major, Thunderbolt Mountain, Redoubt.
Stylistically very different, but height-wise, not a lot in it... :)
Fingers crossed that you have more on the painting table.
I certainly do. The indians are going to get the VERY special treatment the figures deserve... 8)
Thanks to all of you for the really nice comments. Much appreciated.

I didn't comment on purpose.
You're getting waaay too good. >:(

Oh ye of little faith, my Breton friend ;)
Faith ? Yes, as saint Thomas has (almost) said: "Unless I see, and put my fingers deep inside, I will not believe" :D
Thanks for pic of size comparison, it is very interesting.

Yay! 8)
All of the sculpts are extraordinary but the three indian figures are my favourites.... can't wait to see your painting of them..... especially the one advancing in the hunting shirt....
