Dags does the 'N' word...
« on: 24 February 2023, 10:13:08 AM »
Most people know that I have an issue with Napo.. no, can't write it; the 'N' word. And I'll do my best to avoid it at all times. But a very old customer asked me nicely. Front Rank minis, movement trays from Warbases and flags from Flags of War...

Totally understand! Still some very nice work. All I can say is that he must be a very good customer and very persuasive.

Lovely work, but shouldn't those buttons be silver rather than brass?   ;)  :)

For some reason I was expecting Nuns.

Despite that, it's some good colouring in you've done.

Nonono! Thry were brass from 1803-5 only and silver from 1811 onwards, but since Dags used the light blue jacket which was dispatched from 1808 onwards only, the buttons were made of shell and thus should be white!!! :D

I haven't painted Nap....uh, that stuff for years.  I did paint some War of 1812 stuff a few years ago, though... 

But those guys look good....

Nice work.  I get around there he period by focusing on the French Revolution era, Vendee, Flanders etc.  Simpler uniforms.
