Title: French Napoleonic Carabiniers (1807) - 40mm in Wood
Post by: Dale Hurtt on 28 November 2012, 02:05:27 AM

I spent a lot of time on making and painting these figures (of which only one is shown below). It is a handmade wooden soldier, part of a growing collection of 40mm wooden soldiers that I use for skirmish gaming, and if I keep at this long enough, will someday have enough for mass battles.

You can see more of these figures at: http://wooden-warriors.blogspot.com/2012/11/french-napoleonic-carabinier-1807.html . You will also find tutorial on how I make them.

I've been a fan of your work for a while Dale.  After joining the Yahoo, Wargaming on a Budget Group; my sons and I started making Craftee armies inspired by yours.  When finished I'll post some pics.  Thanks for starting all this.
