Forgot to mention that I could not resist to FL NAP0687 Swiss 4th Line Infantry Senior NCO with halberd #1 (the one with the red pennant). Just received it!

Very cool John! Here is the real thing in Paris:

Same from France! BTW I came across this nice and sad story about a French orphan who survived WW1 and went to Australia as he was adopted by an Australian soldier: Story of French orphan who survived by scavenging at WWI battlefields (msn.com)

No, he got shot just after the photo shoot :rolleyes2:

Hi, here is my latest project: Italian Dragoon Sapper - 90mm, sculpt from Alan Ball (from bonapartesmilitarymodels). I thought a little trip to Italy would be nice with this one :). Pics from beginning to final result as usual. Enjoy!

After 30 years in the US I have never tried Bourbon...Still sticking to my French roots with Armagnac and Cognac. This thread is telling me that I may be missing something!

Hi everyone! Here is my latest production: Trumpeter - Red Lancers of the Guard, Full Dress - 1813-1814. This nice 90mm kit is from Pegaso Models. Sculptor is Viktor Konnov. This was a fun one to paint! Enjoy!

This is a very nice bakery but being a French native I have never seen any with "Café Chaud et Beignets" written on the façade :wink2:.

Very cool! Must be in Seattle! Looks like the exact weather we had for the past few days :cool:

Hi all, Happy New Year and hope everyone is doing fine! I finally found the time after a tumultuous year to complete the following figurine that I started pre-COVID time! This one is an Empress Dragoon Officer (1807) with his cat (below the stool). This nice 90mm vignette is from Mike French...

Yep, he is from the Italy campaign period...

Cool story! For the history buffs, there was another Fort George (now named Astoria) in Oregon (close to where I live). Here is the story: https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/fort_george/#.Xv1lEF-SmUl As you can read this one illustrates the war between the USA and GB for control of the...

I buy mine on Amazon. They carry many types: https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=grass&i=toys-and-games&rh=n%3A165793011%2Cn%3A276729011&dc&qid=1593635857&rnid=165795011&ref=sr_nr_n_10

I have been using Paint Stripper from AK interactive and I am pretty happy with the results so far.

Very nice ! In case you didn't know he is the father of Alexandre Dumas who wrote the Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and many more of my favorite books...

Thanks Mat. I know the bottom line of business is driving those decisions and I respect that, but I am still waiting for the Russian Chevaliers Gardes and the French Mamelukes fighting at Austerlitz :wink2: Given the sculpt quality of FL, I am sure they would sell in no time! I know I am a...

Love those Russian hussars but I would have preferred an other Russian cavalry regiment (e.g. Chevalier Gardes!) as they had already produced the Soumsky and Akhtyrsky hussars. From what I can see some of the new ones look very similar in term of sculpt to the latter ones. Anyway I am still...

A masterpiece in the making! Well done Victor!

Very nice indeed! On a related royal note, I have been working on building my genealogic tree and was able to find my oldest ancestor on my father side born in France in 1631 and who died in 1731 at 100 years old which was unusual at that time (must be the French wine :smile2:). Anyway this...
