Superb detail on the lace and aigulettes. Now you could nexteasily convert him to this chap. A member of the most useless, but best turned out units of the era. Louis XVIII's Mousquetaires Noirs;

Dry nice, but will this be released as a unit, like the Éclaireurs? Other figures? Any plans to return to the Borodino Generals set? |
| Sho Boki | 11 Sep 2018 3:08 p.m. PST |
Yes, it is a unit. Every day one teaser, until set is released on next week.
Wednesdays teaser..
Borodino Generals are on table, I prepare new mould for improved old Generals also. I finish requested sets and continue with Generals. |

Sho Boki, your work is incredible. If only we could attract you to The One True Scale. You ask who would want figures from Louis XVIII's Maison du Roi. The answer is no-one (but me), certainly not wargamers, as they were useless. Wellington wanted nothing to do with them. Mind you, most had already abandoned the king, on the flight to Belgium, anyway.
But, when I get my Black Hussars Saxon Garde du Corps finished (indeed even started), the next thing will be a really clever conversion, to create a unit of Black Musketeers. I have done them before, from Perry plastics, but I have a new cunning plan………..
How clever you are to just move the arms around, for variety. Both poses you have shown are just so well thought out. The convention is that the left arm of any cavalry figure must be across the waist, at belt height. The right arm can be waving around like a lunatic, or thrusting, or sloped sword, basically. Then you get something different, but rarely.
Drawing the sword, two hands on the reins, one hand on the sword hilt, whilst still in its scabbard. That is imaginative. Really well thought out.
Congratulations

I love Friday's Teaser. Again you have posed a figure that allows us to paint him! We can get to the best part of his uniform, the chest and lapels. He is not waving his arm around like a lunatic, brandishing a sword. The fist on right or left hip is a classic for cavalry, esp occifers…but rarely shown for models. It just looks so elegant. |

maybe it is how you did the photo, but the right hand on the last miniature, I guess a standard bearer – is on the large side, as big as the face? |
| Sho Boki | 15 Sep 2018 3:51 a.m. PST |
Yes, thanks, I noticed this too.
Hand is smaller now. |

Now that glass would break all UK government guidelines, for weekly alcohol intake, in one go. It takes real skill to paint glass on a solid 3D structure. The trick is to "fill" the glass with something red and then gloss varnish +++. Cheers! |

Champagne flute je pense………… Superbe. But you have anticipated the rotation of the Earth. Unless you are posting from the South Pacific…it is too early for Monday. But again…imagination. You have shown something different. If only, in 28mm, we could get something remotely like this |
