A great time was had by all, thanks for the hospitality, Victor, see you next time so can see your current projects 'in the flesh', rather that just the images, so I can really see the 3D aspect. They are true masterpieces 😁 John

Looks like you are getting them ready for 'inspection' :D John

I'd have to agree with that Brendan, John

The figures I have displayed have assembled and painted from castings about 20 years ago and were languishing on a shelf in my collection. ACW hasn't been a big interest to me, but I just loved these figures made in Australia by Paul Clarke of Shenandoah Miniatures. Recently I was sorting my...

Mike, there are couple of shops in Brussels, do a search and you can find them. As far a regional city, the only thing that I found were at Sunday street markets where you may find old figures. Bruges John

Very nice :) John

Mike, you don't really need a guided tour, just wander around yourself, its a great museum and spend about half a day there. Waterloo is another 'Must see' place to go, and spend a day or two around the Flanders Battlefields, stay in Ypres and go to the Menin Gate for the Last Post ceremony...

Here's another from my collection. French Royal Artillery c 1750 on a defensive fortification. Tradition of London casting I painted. John

Mark, you need to reposition the detachment ..... the Bombardier No2 holding the rammer is on the right and he operates the breech as well as ramming the projectile into the Breech. The No4 who is holding the projectile is on the left, and behind him is the No5 who holds the cartridge case...

You can also see if you can find any Marshals / Generals that were made by Hachette in their series of 185 figures !! They do come up for sale on Ebay occasionally, mainly by European sellers, but well worth getting. The initial set of 25 ? were made by King and Country but then they used other...

Check out Latvian maker ArtIG, they produce many of the Marshals and maybe you can identify them on thier website http://www.artig.lv/ John

Tradition of London make a nice set from 1812, I've painted the castings, but they are available painted. These ones are from the Retreat from Moscow .... John

Looking good Victor... :D I hope they are ready for inspection next month !!!! John

Hot and sweaty AUSSIE gunners ..... I remember ....... :ROFLMAO: John

Prussian Foot Artillery 1815 - SPERIA 3-D printed that I painted. Austrian Artillery 1805- SPERIA 3-D printed that I painted. Royal Horse Artillery 1815 - Hinchliffe/Caldercraft kit that I assembled and painted. Note that all these guns have a full detachment manning the guns. John

YES, great to see them, different nations and guns, exchanging fire over the battlefields. BUT ..... I am quite disanointed by the poses that are being produced by most makers. Most of these depict a gun being loaded, and to give credit, some do have the breech open, so that's appropriate...

You are sure going to have 'fun' painting all that braid on the pelisse of all the troopers :) John

They must be happy ...... it sure beats walking :giggle:

Love those details, look so realistic! I found this pic of the painting in the NSW Art Gallery in Sydney when I was there last year. As you can see the canvas is HUGE, lager that life ! John

Looks like some really dry scrub there, maybe they hasn't been any 'rain, on the plain, in Spain' ???? John :D
