Fabulous collection with superb animation and painting .  I can only imagine the time and effort needed to bring them to this standard.  The Line Lancers , in particular , caught my eye . The Young Guard units are usually involved in any heavy fighting on a tabletop . I’ll certainly follow any future posts .

There is loads more im posting as i take the pics cheers AL

Lovely. I just dig the look of French cuirassiers. Also really well done photos with proper good depth of field. Looking forward to seeing more. Merry Christmas!

Lovely work, truly inspiring :-*  Some day I will have to get some cuirassiers, too, despite focussing on the peninsular.

Out of curiosity, what did you replace the swords with?

The dragoons at the start are great! But the thread in general is a joy to look at! The idea with the steel wire for swords is particularly helpful! Thank you and Merry Christmas as well!

Thanks for the tip with the metal swords.

Lovely painting once more and an impressive collection  :-* Too bad they are in storage.
