To my extreme delight I discovered that AB sculpted a much neglected topic, French heavy cavalry – those were later converted into cuirassiers under Bonaparte / Napoléon. Only one regiment had a cuirass in the French revolution, the ci devant cuirassiers du roi, or 8e Cavalerie. The standard was created thankfully by notbyappointment – here for a change the 2nd squadron as well, and therefore also the pole was painted in red. url=https://postimg.cc/xN8JqCbY]

Notice the blue and gold lettering on the officer's sword blade or the trumpet cords…and this is 18mm scale. |

Absolutely beautiful. I copied them into PAINT and Zoomed in and they don't lose a thing, the painting is still amazing. I've never been able to master the "Damascened blade" look realistically, but it looks spot-on here. |

The things you learn here. I know about a Damascene conversion, but never heard that term applied to a sword. Google soon taught me. Bluing I have tried on 28mm occifers' swords, even with a bit of gold "engraving", but I am much the wiser now. Thanks d'Hautpol |

thanks for those nice feed backs, the blueing is easy, you can use a blue ink, or dark blue ink, for the gold, some dots. |
begins to think about terrain for Team Yankee.
