The painting is beautiful, truly splendid. Unfortunately, for me, much of the effect is destroyed by the hugely over scale modelling on the figures of the blue piping on the kepi. It is so thick it almost equals the amount of the red cloth, giving the effect of a mixed colour kepi, rather than the red, which it should be. And I was really looking forward to these Perry sculpts! |

Beautiful work  Just picked up those sets to go with the prussians. |

They are beautifully painted but I'm with Mollinary on the sculpts. I was really confused by what looked like odd red/blue kepis until I figured out it was piping that was probably 10X too thick. |

Same as Molinary and Lascaris, but even more disappointed in the lack of epaulettes. |

Stunning paintwork, historical inaccuracies aside (which i really didnt notice) they are beautifully done. The contrast of red and blue is always a perfect combination. |

There is a lot of evidence for the leaving of epaulettes in the depots, even in the Imperial period. This was certainly the case for the Marines who fought in the ‘Blue Division' at Sedan. That said, I agree, epaulettes maketh the man! |

Hmmm…are those metal Perrys ? Looked at the plastic boxs that I purchased and the piping on the kepis looks good ?
Yeah, epaulettes would have been nice :) |

Thanks for the comments.
It is complicated to paint all the kepis piping of 50 figures of 28mm well and appreciate the contrast in it.And try to make them all perfect.

Rafa, I think the fault is in the figure, not the painting. |

@Mollinary Thanks my friend you're very kind. |

Epaulets didn't last very long in the field. But I have a lot of figures who are wearing them. Can't go wrong either way. None of my Guards are wearing Bearskins. I just don't believe they wore them in the field. |
finally dips his toe into the world of Aeronef.
