So glad to see them here!

What about the potential 'infantry support'?

Thanks. :)
The Infantry..nearly finished. The Flag, being attached to the back of the head of the figure holding it,  is proving a problem

There is something about these figures and your painting that I really like!  :P

Nice "historical fantasy" (in the good sense of fantasy) figures.

Read the blog.  If I "did" 1/72nd scale I would definitely buy these.

Gracias,

Glenn

@ Eric...I can´t imagine what you were expecting  :)

The sets are originally labelled as Female Napoleonic 1789
http://www.cw-toys.de/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=18&Itemid=55
but even though napoleonics aren´t a period of history I know much about, but a check on the web tells that they aren´t really appropiate, the main reason being they are all uniformed.
I hope she (the sculptor) creates some more..one or two riding side saddle would be excellent!
