French Infantry officers.

These handsome fellows are printed by Battle Honours.

They are beautiful sculpts although they needed a lot of cleaning up and the accoutrements are extremely fragile. Indeed the plumes were very weak and only one survived.

Personally I do not like one cast pieces as the painting becomes very demanding. I also had an issue with scale compatibility when I ordered some bearskinned carabiners. These chaps were huge and have been sadly binned despite being very nice prints.

Personally I am in favour of the Piano prints with their lovely faces. More on them later.

Nevertheless, I am very pleased with these gentlemen who will be taking command of their units in due course.

Lots to do.

With all your concerns regarding the miniatures, you did a spectacular job with them. Beautifully done.
