And from the back. I took the extra time to add all the extra gold lace to the uniform for the Marshals of the Empire.
The individual figures of course would start with Napoleon.
He's giving orders to a Hussar Aide-de-camp. For this fellow I picked the uniform of the 5th Hussars.
Leaning over the map table is Marshal Ney.
Reviewing the placement of his artillery is Marshal Drouot.
Observing events and making mental notes is the Chief Ordnance Officer Colonel Gourgaud.
This was really fun to paint. Next up will be some lancers. Not sure what's next in the queue after that, as my birthday will be this Friday and my wife said she got me some stuff from my wish list... and some things I didn't ask for! We'll see on Friday!
Have a great week.
That is beautiful work Rod!

DeleteYou have good reason to feel proud, these are fabulous!!! The detail in the uniforms is fantastic, and so is the skin tone; the white, always so difficult to paint, is perfect...! The map is a fine touch! Marvellous work, keep them coming!!!! Cheers!

Thank you!
DeleteThat's a great model with a ton of detail. I am afraid to paint officers because of all their detail. Your bases look too realistic.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's very kind. They were a bit of work for sure and a little stressful. No matter what though their our miniatures so we can be happy with however they look. I'm sure there's some button-counters who'll tell you all kinds of stuff I got wrong. LOL.
