Wow :o seriously good brushwork :-*

I'd be deliriously happy with something close to that on a 28mm figure, but on a 15-18mm figure, I am in awe ;D

Ah, my favorite scale from my favorite manufacturer.  And now my favorite painter?  D'Artagnan looks like the actor in the movie - ausgezeichnet. (sp?)

Looking again - and more awake - he looks more like the actor who played Louis, surprisingly so, especially the hair.  But still wonderful paint jobs.

Some of the best sculpts I've ever seen - in any scale - can be found in Blue Moon's 18 mm ranges.  They aren't all at the level, but many of them certainly are.

WOW I wish I could paint them as well as you have.  :o

You painted the eye's in the 18mm figs.   o_o

These are great miniatures though and even more humble painters like myself can do a reasonable brush job you can see a couple of pictures of my attempts below. Your finished versions and your photography blow mine away.

Wow, you have done an amazing job with those figures. That center figure in the added Cardinal's Guard is incredible with well painted eyes, highlights and shading on the face, and gradation in the hair.

I am curious about your camera settings and lighting at this scale, if that does not constitute a thread hijack.

I want to see the civilians pack once you've painted those up!  And the coaches.  You do have those, yes?  If not, order them up and get them painted for us all to feast our eyes upon - and maybe use as a painting guide.  I have the entire range, mostly x 2 except for the heroes.  One of each version of the coach.  But none painted yet.  Your thread may bump them higher on the painting que.   

You might approach Old Glory about letting them use your painted figures in their online catalog - who knows what they'll say but can't hurt to offer.

Speaking or replacement swords, what are you using? Whatever they are they're fantastic! 

I've felt the swords were the weakest part of the original castings but haven't figured out a replacement that wouldn't be piercing my flesh every time I picked them up.

The Cardinal is a religious figure in this range then. Interesting as in the book he is described as dressed like a noble rather than in Cardinal's robes.

Bindonblood, Richelieu has been depicted and described as having worn armor at the siege of La Rochelle (and as a boy he had wanted to be soldier, before his family put him in the church), but most contemporary portraits show him in the standard dress of a cardinal.

The painting continues to inspire awe.  But...

It's terrible, a veritable travesty against the existence of the universe!  

Some of your photos have disappeared - seems mostly of the cardinal's guard.  >:(  This cannot be allowed to stand; they must be replaced.  How else can I come back and use these photos as reference for what will be my poor attempts to emulate your work?  They must be replaced.  And this entire thread, especially the photos needs to somehow be made permanent so it won't be lost.   :?

Now, hop do it and get it done, sir.   :D

Please.

Alright, looking at the sculpt on the left I'm having to wonder if the sculptor and/or our intrepid painter know a certain local gamer with a very famous (in USA) last name - though he isn't famous beyond the local parts as far as I know.  A dead ringer.

More wonderful paint jobs.  I wonder where all these fine figures will land in the end.  Will they stay with the painter or be off to someone else.  Or did he answer that already earlier?

Very great work.
I don't know how is it possible to paint eyes on this mini. I have truy but it is a true suffering for me and the result are not so terrific than yours.

How the heck do you manage to make a 15mm sexy.
Love the texture you have on the white dress

Malamute, if you really pay attention to the book, you'll see that she actually fakes her own death and sails with the sunset to the New World.  ;)

You put a lot of character on to what is a small "canvas."  A fine collection.

Another figure for my 15mm Three Musketeer project. A 'Lady of the Court' from Blue Moon. There's no named Queen in the pack, so I'll probably be using her as Queen Anne.

Oh, I don't know.  I think this guy, Deano, really needs to get a lot more practice in to master his craft.  So, here's what I'll offer - you ship me off all these figures you've been showing off, only so-so, and I'll send you a fresh batch of unpainted figures and we'll all see if you can Really impress us.  What ya say, we got a deal?

That's a good idea, 60 figures all at once (if I counted right and he doesn't have others we haven't seen).

Look out behind you, Bucky!  Ooops.

Whoever sculpted that range did an excellent job, and I am very impressed with how you have made them shine.  Thanks for sharing!

de Rochefort is probably my favorite.

Not sure yet, but I do have some of those buildings that you have, from 15mm.co.uk. I need to paint them up though.
