"Les bleus" will be back in 2026! :smile2:

Thanks! I mixed the K&C cuirassiers with the Collector's Showcase Polish Lancers. Sxs they look fine!

Great job! Here is my rendition of the Waterloo battle (a pic from one my Forum albums) https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58761&d=1262664932 The cuirassiers in that vignette are from King & Country. They go very well with the rest of the French cavalry (Polish...

Hi all, I finally was able to find the time to finish my latest painting project! This one is a French Hussar Officer, 4th Regiment, 1804-1815. This 90mm sculpt is from Almond Sculptures Ltd. This is what I would call TS with an attitude and I really like it!

This is why Stadden needs to hire a French editor :wink2: In addition in that context "La Garde Impériale" should just read "Garde Impériale" but this one is more about semantics. This is still a very nice piece and a great painting job regardless. Well done!

It's maybe because "A" in English is pronounced "ET" in French :wink2:

Great to see your 13 year old interest in Napoleon ! You can point it to the 100+ Napoleonic trivia questions I posted on this forum a few years ago. Here is the last one: Napoleonic Trivia # 109 (treefrogtreasures.com) I have also posted many pictures of my visit to the Musée de l'Emperi in...
