Just finished painting the 1/1ere Grenadiers a Pied de la Garde to boost my reserves. Took me a while to sculpt the chords on General Christiani's chest. Enjoy

Great photo and amazing brushwork – just the sort of lads to give those Russkies and Austrians a really bad day! |

How long did it take you to paint the figures? These may just be the best painted figures at any scale I have ever seen. Just incredible skill and talent. Thanks for sharing. |

I couldn't really tell you, as some days I can dedicate 1-2 hrs to painting, other days half an hour, others nothing… But, making a rough estimate, I think this unit, 44 figures, took me about two months to complete. |

Forgive a dumb question but I do not recognise the wonderful figures. Who is the manufacturer? |

Wow. I thought Foundry were totally dismissed in these days of scale creep, when 28mm actually is nearer 30mm. I have never, ever, handled a Foundry figure These are simply wonderful miniatures, then beautifully painted |

As a matter of fact, they are slightly smaller than, say, Perry or Front Rank, but the superb sculpt compensates. Besides, Perry's range, my favourite, does not have grenadiers in full dress. |

Great work, and very inspiring. What size are the bases? |

Amazing work, I love the colours! |

Scratchbuilt of balsa wood, 1x5 cms. |
Snowcat | 05 Mar 2018 3:42 p.m. PST |
1x5 cms? OK, so I'm guessing that's for the command base with 3 figures on it. That makes the figures 25mm to the eye, and the longer bases 8 cm long. Is that correct? Otherwise the figures are only 15mm to the eye, and I wasn't aware Foundry made 15s. :) |
Kellerman | 06 Mar 2018 2:43 a.m. PST |
They are 28mm. Five figures to a base. Correct, 1x5 is for the command base. |
