Currently working on a unit but they're proving quite intricate so I'll update as I go.

Thanks for looking

Wow Stuart.  He is fantastic.    :-* :-*   Is the model a Foundry or Eureka cast or have you converted him?

Damn that's good, almost a shame some will be lost in the unit (you'll have to have them in congo formation!)

Very nice - the detail is stunning. My wife asked me if I was going blind as I had my nose pressed against the screen to check out the detail.

OK, you can stop showing off now. ;)

Seriously Stuart, how are you going to keep this up? How many are you planning on doing?

Until my eyesight fails ! Though this did give me double vision at times. At the very least I wanted to show a French lance of 1513 which means along with the mounted archers and men at arms I've done I'll need at least 4.

This approach does mean that for every gendarme I do I'll then have to do 2 conversions as above to get the numbers right. I love making it easy for myself  o_o

I've got 2 conversions on the go at present, adding barding to the Foundry horses, not too bad so far.

Keep 'em coming, so we can marvel. You are nuts, of course, but who could live life with crisps alone.

My Respects,
