I find that bordering on madness – love it.

Congrats to GeneralPicton--that's some effort. I'm slowly, but surely (ok, slowly) working on the same thing for a Russian heavy battery in 28mm just so I could get an idea of how much room it would really take up. As the blogger notes, it looks a little different when you have all the accompanying equipment. :-)

Good grief!! That's a lot of painting.

I am delighted to find this site once more. I am a simple soul and do not understand such things………

I kept going back to what I thought was his only work……… on Hougoumont, LHS, Gendarmes d'Elite and Boney's carriage (remarkably every one of them some source of obsession for me).

This was all posted in Feb 2014 and nothing has been added since. Nothing has changed…….or so I thought. Of course my link was just taking me back to that page, which could hardly predict what would follow!

Armand, really glad you enlightened me. The Grand Battery is…..well, grand. What about those carabiniers a cheval?

He freely admits to using some licence in showing all trumpeters in earlier rig than imperial green, parade not campaign dress and mamelukes in oriental rather than French rig. The result is fantastic and those buildings remain the most realistic I have seen.

That is indeed madness!! but absolutely brilliant, fair play to him that is superb.

I always admire the dedication when it comes to painting large armies . Takes a lot of Will Power these days with companies always offering temptations .

Great stuff:)

Happy you enjoyed it boys!.

Time ago I took pics of my own units and remember I copy the formation of Cavalry from the books.

The trumpets were behind and at the right.

Something that the price of 1/72 stuff makes possible for those of us with mortgages grin.

Totally agree on the madness front – but after all, we all have a touch of madness to enjoy this hobby of ours so much…

Agree with you my good friend! (smile)
