I have begun expanding the French forces in preparation for a recreation of the battle of Vimiero. To see the first units finished in the expansion, pop on by my blog. There are a ton of photos to entertain any Napoleonic history or toy soldier enthusiast. link

They are awesome!  I'm not a fan of glossy, but you sure did a great job on those figs. I love the scale. Mine aren't nearly as pretty. Plus I onw a bunch of Der Kriegspilelers. Thanks John |

John Leahy, The Der Kriegspielers are definitely a bit more challenging to paint as they just aren't as well detailed being copies of the Hinton Hunt originals for the most part, but can be quite effective with a little patience. I have a bunch as well. Next up will likely be the legion du Midi made with Der Kriegspielers. I never used to appreciate the glossy look, but have really come to appreciate it in this application. Somehow the toy soldier look just seems appropriate for these classic miniatures. |

Yeah, they were knockoffs of HH. I lived near where Custom Cast operated in Dayton, Ohio. That's what made up my Nap armies in the 70's and early 80's. Still have them. I love the scale. Only got some HH over the years. Last were from David Clayton. Had to work to get that order. Thanks John |
