Visited the local hobby shop today for some paint and noticed a 1/16th scale French Imperial Guard kit. Something new I had not seen. Bit of a review here-

Looking at the Mini-art site there seem to be several other Napoleonic figures, including a French Dragoon and Cuirassier.

Curious if any Treefroggers have made and painted any of these figures yet and if they were easy to build or otherwise?

Mirof,

I would be interested in seeing the kit in progress and once made.

Hi Scott,
Good kits, and being plastic they lend themselves to extra detail attention from a pyrograver - hair etc. Being so big, they are great for folk with eyesight problems - have misplaced my camera to computer attachement so cannot post a picture. I built the mounted dragoon and cuirassier some years ago.They make an impressive result for your dollar.
