Soon as I get my Saxon six horses (in the post), I'll show this done as Louis XVIII leaving the Tuilleries with his Maison du Roi. Figues are all done, coach is painted. Postillions are from RHA, converted with much imagination and no evidence! The coach is nearer to Frederick the Great era than Napoleonic, but works fine for me. C springs and door in the centre would be a relatively minor conversion to update it, if really fussed. The coach is the best thing Niels R has ever come up with I think. The figures are a nice surprise…. A sneak preview and a rotten photo but still much to do; The door windows are now shuttered, the roof is filled with baggage, the gold trim is enhanced etc

Deadhead, that looks inspired! I look forward to seeing the finished vignette. I recognise the figures other than the King himself. What is he based upon? |

Thanks! He is a plastic British officer from the Perrys' AWI range, the command set…….with a lot of Greenstuff to pad him out!
The two black musketeers are conversions of Perry plastic carabiniers. The chaps in red and the hidden trumpeter are their dragoons, now Gendarmes du Roi…….once properly based into the cobbles and horses done I'll do some proper photos. By the way, I have to again thank von Winterfeldt for the advice on the longer coat tails for the Maison du Roi troopers! |

Does the model come with the horses too or do those need to be ordered separately? |

It comes with two horses, which would be right for town use. Driven by a coachman. I have ordered six Saxon horses from Westfalia to get him out of Paris however (postillion led). I think I'll only have room for four though and some authors do talk about his exit in a "coach and four"………. |
