Oh wow….yes, en masse superb. Are these Elite Miniatures? Great photography………. natural sunlight either early am or last thing?

Deadhead, yes Elite Miniatures, classic style. These are very well done! Those Elite guns a BIG! You painted a lot of them. I painted up 30 Calpe Prussian guns, I know it's a lot of work!

I'm no fan of the Guard (perverse, I know) but they are impressive, and you have painted these beautifully! Thanks for sharing!

Many thanks for the kind comments Gents. Cheers for trying Marc, these things sometimes get overly complex!!! Pics taken in morning sunshine with my i-phone deadhead. Longobard – I get waht you say entirely. I have resisted getting any Guards until now as I always assumed my armies were too small to warrant it. As we passed the 50 x 36 Battalion mark and historical scenarios demanded it we decided to just go for it! Cavalry to follow…
