I've just added another batch of Gendarmes to my Italian Wars collection. It was the second batch of two to create 6 new 8 figure units. Close ups here: link And a shot of them all together

And your love shows. I love painting Normans but never put that kind of detail into my work!… (btw, your "closeups" don't link to bigger pics, in case you overlooked that) |

Nice. None of this "uniform" nonsense!  |

Wow. I wish I had that disorder. Awesome work. |

You know we all hate you, yes?

I can see that you love painting them, so to help your passion I've decided you can paint mine and I won't even charge you. |

Brilliant work and dedication – the candy striped lances, fully shaded, are amazingly consistent. Your site and collection are the inspiration for my 15mm collection. But, every time I look at your work, I regret not going with 28s…:-) And…you can never have too many gendarmes… |

Nice. Looks like gendarmes love being painted by you! |

A match made in heaven then. Great models and superb painting. |

Brillant figures and very fascinating period. |
| Fat Wally | 23 Mar 2013 3:38 p.m. PST |
Fantastic work as usual on the figures but the ground colour and basing looks great too. |

They are beautiful! I'll just pop out and shoot myself in jealousy now… |
| Raynman | 24 Mar 2013 3:32 p.m. PST |
That's great news! Please post your address so I can send mine to you to paint for me! Wonderful paint jobs! |

I am looking at these, looking at a similar collection of Gensdarmes in my cabinet – all unpainted – and weep… As usual, thanks for sharing :-) |
| John Leahy | 24 Mar 2013 10:48 p.m. PST |
Well, they actually aren't up to your usual standard. therefore you can immediately ship them to me so they won't sit around reminding you of that!
Outstanding work.
Thanks, John |

Thanks all, for your kind remarks. As it happens, although the game can be manned, I'm still looking for a couple of players who might want to push these around on the table-top at Sheffield Triples (mid May) this year. If you would like to volunteer a few hours, preferably a day, or both days then I'm open to offers for assistance. My contact details can be found at my blog (in the side bar). And, NO, NO, NO, I will not pay your expenses!!!!! James. |

This year may is already planned, but for next year I may just take you up on the offer not to pay expenses :-) |
looks at a fast-assembly naval kit for the Age of Sail.
