@CapnJim: Cheers!

@batu: Me too! I was a bit cheeky and painted two of my own figures too. You can see them there in the back; the farmer and the milk maid. Also started work on another milk maid (milking a cow), a boy making butter and a dandy looking trader type, all by Eureka (who have a splendid selection of civilians for all periods) and Front Rank.

@Baron von Wreckedoften: That does help a lot, thanks very much! It's a constant gripe of mine to see how the internet on the whole is deteriorating, links going dead, websites and really useful information disappearing at a horrifying speed. So any little bit of putting stuff up again helps.

@schoey: Thanks very much, Paul! Württemberg is one of the many bits of Napoleonic history I never read much about, so it was interesting getting into that a little. Just wish I'd gotten the History Book Man's PDF on them when I had the chance!

@nickelkers: Thank you! Yeah, I try to take scenic pictures of as much as I can. It's time-consuming and extra work on projects whilst I should be moving on to the next thing, but it's just really nice (and useful!) to have pretty pictures of finished figures with stuff around them somewhere. Also a good excuse not to put away the Napoleonic table we used for Sharp Practice two weeks prior. Not sure what my excuse it for STILL not having put it away though....

@MaleGriffin: Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I do try sometimes....

@Basementboy: Cheers! they were rather fun to paint, all in all. The patterns on the shabraques of course were abit daunting at first, but it all worked out nicely. I mean I painted several Space Orks armies and Highlanders of all sorts of periods, so I'm no stranger to  checkerboard patterns.
