Latest project is four guns and two Howitzers for The Imperial Guard Horse Artillery for the giant Waterloo model. They are conversions of Hagen French Revolution HA which come in the habit coat. Beautifully sculpted by Frank Ziegler, I just had to add colpacks and aiguillettes.

Very nice as always Mr D. Sorry to be picky but your third gun in rammer man is levitating his rammer rather than holding it. This will, once completed, look as fabulous as the others you have done. Best wishes, Chris |

Well spotted. I have gone through every photo (I have to, as everything is now boxed up for postage) and am asking how did I miss that? The hollow is under his hand to hold the rammer. He is palm down indeed………… Thanks to both of you. |

It is a real privilege to have such talents helping with this project. It is also incredible to think how many times we have converted 'one off' contributions rather than just factory produced figures. There is literally no other battery like this in the world. |

That is why I just love conversion work or building carriages for example. The result is unique. Your father's work on the many buildings, from a modest Plancenoit house, to Mt St Jean Farm, to the Chateau of Hgmt, is a great asset too. Rossomme was particularly clever and my next work is another carriage and figures for Napoleon's Household seen there, rather than at Le Caillou, as there must be a limit to the size of the final model! |

The camera is merciless as I well know from bitter experience. Best wishes, Chris |
