"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...

I have Le Cimier version in my collection. Looking forward to seeing the next steps Victor!

Just came back from a trip to Spain and France where I was able to get my hand on this rare find from a local collector: FL NAP0003 Bavarian Officer, 4th Sachsen-Hildburghausen I had already FL NAP0002 (Bavarian Standard Bearer, 4th Sachsen-Hildburghausen) and FL NAP0007 (Bavarian Drummer Boy...

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!

There seems to be one available on that site: NAP0183 1st NASSAU INFANTRY REGIMENT FUSILIER CHARGING - Maison Militaire

Great movie! Please see both on Grognard's New Painting Project! - Page 2 (treefrogtreasures.com) I have painted Lasalle at the top of that page and Fournier-Sarlovèze further down on that page. The latter is one of the 2 duelists, the other one was Dupont...

A French military cadet asked his girlfriend today to marry him on the Champ Elysees in Paris before the Bastille Day military's parade: Un soldat fait sa demande en mariage sur les Champs-Elysées avant le défilé du 14-Juillet (msn.com) I actually proposed to my American wife in Paris but not...

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:

Nice but there is a big typo on the description. It should read "Grenadier à pied" not "Grenadier et pied". The latter means "Grenadier and a foot"...whereas the right description means "Unmounted grenadier" as there were "Mounted Grenadiers" > "Grenadier à cheval" in French...

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...

Sorry for your experience. I can relate unfortunately...I call this the "maracas" effect: heavy weight object not secured in a box. Basic physics...

When I saw this vignette on Ebay, I had to have it! I always loved the Nap mamluks and I had never seen that 54mm set anywhere. It is signed Pierre Conrad and while I have many prints from him, I never knew that he also produced this type of vignette. While resin, both details and ensemble are...

This is a great store as well near St Sulpice. I have been there once years ago but that day the owner was smoking a cigar in the store...Not sure if he is still alive. There is a cool YouTube video on their site: // Au plat d'Etain // Soldats de plomb et figurines de collection depuis 1775 à...

This is a great store! I bought nearly 50+ TS there 15+ years ago. With the duty free and the bulk purchase I was able to negotiate things and get a good deal (speaking French was helping too!). I still go there each time I am back in France just for the fun as I have enough NAP TS now for my...

Since we are on this topic...Key to room where Napoleon died found in Scotland https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-55618318#:~:text=The%20key%20was%20found%20in%20an%20envelope%20with,the%20South%20Atlantic%20after%20his%20defeat%20at%20Waterloo.
