I think Braunschweig figures are a must have Prussian Landwehr are at the top of my wish list , who knows he may surprise us he just dropped another ACW bomb 12 more of the 55th North Carolina confederate infantry . All the best Gebhard

At the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, there is this impressive painting:

Charge of the 4th Hussars at the battle of Friedland, 14 June 1807

by Edouard Detaille

Its HUGE..... 376.0 x 445.0cm

and it blew me away when I saw it, when I was last in Sydney.

That would make a wonderful diorama, wouldn't it ?????

Yes it would, Detaille was a wonderful painter. Since you bring it up, here's a larger version that was posted earlier

You know Bill no matter how many times it gets posted its still one of my favorites . I may be wrong but I think I remember seeing a picture of Detaille at work surrounded by original items from the period . He was one of the best . All the best Gebhard

Well time for some more inspiration; how about a nice British beach assault? Anyone know where?

I don't, but I spy a Rifleman! Looks good to me!

Mate ...That would be the Assault on San Sebastian painted by Mark Churms The tragedy is remembered every year on August 31 with an extensive candlelit ceremony to this day so I hear ..Gebhard

Quite correct Geb, no surprise you got that one. Yes it also has the advantage of featuring a few lads in green. Ah well maybe not to much longer.

PS, in the meantime, I think I need to buy some of those new fighting Highlanders.

 

[Spitfrnd]

Here's one that I hope we see (or with another British Dragoon unit) soon.

 

[Spitfrnd]

OK, there has been more than sufficient water under the bridge for the next installment. Here's another scene I hope to do soon, would look even better with some green lads.

I hope at some point Saxony will be represented While these are not the greatest illustrations , I think First Legion could do a great job creating some Fantastic Saxons . Gebhard

 

[DCN1898]

Yes my friend, I would like to see these done as well! Have a little from every player in the game.

Aren't those plates from the L. Funcken books ?

When I was 12 years old, I read those books one after the other and even made a 4 hour long presentation on the grande armée... Most of my class (the girls) was sleeping during that presentation but it was cool nonetheless... I would like to own those books but most are in pretty bad shape these days ...

I'm with ya , you know I have been contacted by several not so public forum members telling me the same thing . It seems a lot of guys just collect one or two figures from each of First Legions Napoleonic releases to use as studies of the different Napoleonic Armies . They really do some well researched figures . All the best my friend Gebhard
