You'se talkin' to me, dude?...
Unless you're Marshal Grouchy, I guess. I underestimated just how long it takes to do the details- the musket straps, piping, shako plates all took a lot more time than I anticipated. Nevertheless, I am happy with the results and everything is falling into place.
How the heck Iannick could paint so many, so well, and so quickly is beyond me. I doff my chapeau to him in admiration!
Here is the first instalment- the carabinier company of the 28th legere. These guys were real swine to paint up- lots of fringes and the red chevrons on the shakos took a steady eye and a lot of patience. If the weather co-operates I'll give them a coat of spray varnish and mount them on their bases early next week.
More to come- the voltigeur company next, and then the centre companies which were a LOT less fiddly!
