Hi,

Just hot off the painting table are Gringos 40's Gendarmes de Elite 28mm mini's. I feel compelled to say that these were superb castings with virtually no flash lines at all and were very easily cleaned up lightly with a file. The sculpts are highly detailed and have bags of character which is what I tend to look for in a miniature.

I thoroughly enjoyed painting these up and would recommend them to all interested in the 'period'.

You can see many more pics (a lot!) on my Just Add Water Blog:

Here are some taster pics:

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed the pics.

Darrell.

I already have a squadron of these in my Guard Heavy Cavalry – old Connoisseur models painted c1985. I love my old models – but these are so tempting.

Does that make me a bad person? evil grin

But, there are no troopers in bearskins yet in the catalogue? I only see them in helmet: Those are for 1815, right?

I guess those in bearskin will be available soon?

Joaquin

you are quite right there are three troopers wth the
classical helmet .and there is one with the bearskin
as my site is not fully updated …….hopefully in time
for Salute

so the bearskin trooper is available just not listed yet!
