Maximillian's Palace Guard
« on: February 08, 2012, 05:53:10 PM »
Another stunning figure from Gringo 40s new Maximillian Range:



Absolutely superb, as good as the Egyptian officer I think.

Noooooooooooooooo!  I haven't even cleaned up the Egyptians yet, let alone undercoated or painted them.  :o

So, will you be at WMMS, Ged?

on Guard Chaps ...they did a lot of that aside from serving the first

course of the evening meal to Maxilillian and Carlota on Parisian

sterling silver.............some of which went " missing" on a regular

basis!! and guess who the alleged culprits were!!

two on Guard poses and the commander with all his resplendant lace!!

Since there were only 50 of them, I may be 3 plus the colonel as HQ guards, although they wore their green uniforms in the field.

Given how clean the castings are, I dont think they need that much cleaning...
