Gringo.....as soon as could... i'll post some unpublished or very rare picts  about battlescenes from eywitnees accounts concerning Garibaldi's battles in the South...
unfortunatly as i'm very rough ..i would say primitive..at using my scanner..plus of course typical lazy Italian worst than your "cosa nostra" Picciotti ..it will take some days....unfortunatly my huge Risorgimento armies or lead piles are made of Mirliton and WF types..so i imagine your figures could be a little big..what a pity..i coud have avoided , at time, so much time consuming conversions ....but i see that you made also some neat character/personality casting types that could be very iconic on my wargame table..even if towering among other minis...the Neapolitan cavalry officer in white cape is one of them...Bixio also but i have such an antipathy for this rude guy that was'nt even able to speak correct Italian that maybe i could include it in a future order only to let him lead an opponent army of Garibaldini free masons/outlaws to smash witjout mercy with my "Reggi" (Neapolitans)

really looking forward to the images you will post as this era is so unexplored
every new image is a revalation and may cause me to commission another figure or two. I have about 12-14 more picciotto  coming and may well do some "Leader " types so any more pictures would be grest especially cloaks/type of hats ..weapons that I have not covered. looking forward

Hi Ged, patience is a wonderful attribute wargamers and collectors have.

I'm quite sure when you are ready with some news all will be revealed. Until then, please keep up the great advertisement.

Oh, by the way, the lancers look lovely. :-)

OK, I guess they are not as colourful as those lancers but Garibaldi had his share of colourful horsemen... and you need someone to fend off those nasty looking guys, so just in case no one has posted them before, here is a hussar from the Hungarian legion
