They are beautiful figures and the sculpting gives them great animation and super-fine detail but it is your beautifully blended and detailed painting that brings them alive. Both battalions of the Borbon regt are a masterpiece. Quite stunning - and inspirational!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Doc<br />http://docsartofwar.blogspot.com/Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-52440445211628654182009-12-10T14:11:04.734+00:002009-12-10T14:11:04.734+00:00Great job on the faces again.
