A pic. Next step is a digital camera that is not as old as my daughter.

Thanks for posting about your beautiful models, incredible paint job. However I can't let you comment about modern sculpts lacking dynamism go without comment… Although I don't dare compare my paintwork with yours, I would argue that these Eureka Saxon cavalry are at least as dynamic as the Connisseur sculpts:
Of course these are the Zastrow Cuirassiere, but Eureka's Garde de Korps are similarly posed! link |

It was more a matter of sculpts in general rather than the Garde du Corp models specifically. I too like those Eureka ones and was thinking of using them for my Leib Kurassier Garde. link Thanks for that comment on my painting but I would rate it about 6-7 out of 10 on a good day. I would rate yours higher :) Love your blog by the way – bookmarked. |

I paint for the table top, not a wargame mag so I am pretty happy with them on the whole. Glad you like them, mate. |

Brian,
Great paint-job! I'm painting my Saxon Heavy Horse this weekend (in my case the humble plastic Strelets), so thanks for the inspiration.
Sparker,
Absolutely fantastic blog! Now I know why you are the most stifled amongst us…Blog envy!

Great paint-job! I'm painting my Saxon Heavy Horse this weekend (in my case the humble plastic Strelets), so thanks for the inspiration. You know those 1/72 plastics are, with a few exceptions, the most beautiful little miniatures – great crisp detail and so many choices as to period – not to mention cheap as chips. I would love to see your Garde du Corps once they are finished. I was thinking of moving to them to do ACW I like them so much. |
