Thunderbolt Mountain F&IW French (now w comparison pics!)

[Captain Blood]

A couple of F&IW Frenchies from Thunderbolt Mountain... Sculpted by Tom Meier.



And seen in situ...



Notionally, they're 28mm, in fact they're probably a bit more like 32mm, but just to point out how remarkable these figures are - here they are at roundabout actual size  

[gamer Mac]

Stunning paint job 
Are you sure they are only 32 mm they look a lot bigger.
Your big river looks like a little stream now

[Colonel Tubby]

That is one fantastic paint job 

[Tsune]

Beautiful miniatures and paint job.

[Remington]

As said elsewhere, these are beautifully painted and their style is very interesting. They certainly don't make the impression of near 30mm miniatures.

[OSHIROmodels]

Just stop right there, it's not fair. How can you paint a (large) 28mm like that and not be 28mm yourself  

Wonderful stuff though Richard     although I don't want to paint any of mine anymore  

cheers

Richard, seeing these miniatures painted by you really is a great pleasure.
I do not know many painters that are able to do the sculpts of the grand master of sculpting justice.

You do. Without being arty-farty.
Thanks for sharing these highly inspiring pictures!

Stunning figures with a stunning paint job... Bastardo! 

[Silent Invader]

They really are a visual treat.     Fingers crossed that you have more on the painting table. 

[Aaron]

Well done Captain! Just as nice as Oniria's, although in a totally different style.

[Patrice]

Beautiful painting 

Er... the Thunderbolt Mountain website say they are 1:48 scale, that is bigger than 28 mm

[Andym]

Nice 'true scale' miniatures rounded off with a brilliant paint job. Top notch!!

[Captain Blood]

Er... the Thunderbolt Mountain website say they are 1:48 scale, that is bigger than 28 mm

Oh ye of little faith, my Breton friend 



Left to right - Front Rank (true stubby 28mm), Galloping Major, Thunderbolt Mountain, Redoubt.

Stylistically very different, but height-wise, not a lot in it... 

Fingers crossed that you have more on the painting table. 

I certainly do. The indians are going to get the VERY special treatment the figures deserve...

Thanks to all of you for the really nice comments. Much appreciated.

[Ray Rivers]

Thanks to all of you for the really nice comments.

I didn't comment on purpose.

You're getting waaay too good.
