« on: 14 August 2012, 07:23:23 AM »
So after finishing Lord Uxbridge, the next command base is in line, this time Napoleon Bonapart himself:

The first mini is done, one ADC:



Up next is Mameluke Ali.

This is great work.  There must have been no finer sight than the appearance of French Napoleonic Senior Command's widely and brightly uniformed entourages. :o

Thank you guys!

@joroas: I have to say compared to the Uxbridge base I painted the other week they lack some bling, but they sure look colourful. Especially when you get Mameluke valets, light cavalry ADCS and Maréchals with all their medals!

@Greystreak: Oh I will get you one day! And the most complicated part is picking the colours. For the painting you just just need a steady hand and you have that!

You certainly are productive but also producing quality stuff as well :-*
well done

Thank you both a lot!

But it is another day and another mini finished, this time Maréchal Soult. And here he is with lots of background info (do not worry, it is graphically set apart, so you can just scroll over it if uninterested):

That is a superbly painted command group.  Funny that ol' Boney looks the least colorful with his grey coat.  The others are show-offs!  lol

Thanks. Yes I thought much the same... part of the reason I managed to finish him today after all!
