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

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

That is one fantastic paint job

Beautiful miniatures and paint job.

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

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

James

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!

They really are a visual treat.

Fingers crossed that you have more on the painting table.

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

Beautiful painting

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

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

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...

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.
