Hi Ray - apologies for the long time for replying!
Cheers for the kind comments - I am rather chuffed with that drummer! Having perused the information supplied by Arthur in the Regiment d'Humieres thread, I was surprised by how ' similar' I'd got him, just from the Mark Allen plates!!
He is - you might be surprised to discover
- a Foundry figure, from the Perry's old 'Marlburian' line. I started to buy some of these chaps when I began my Imagi-nation project, then they stopped casting them
Then they started to produce them again, when the 'new' management took over, by which time I'd become intrigued by the LOA period
I like the style of the Perry designed figures, and although they get a bashing sometimes for their inaccuracies, they're still fairly 'solid'. Maybe it was my painting method, as it does look a little like the Front Rank 'Style'?
The tassels on the shoulders are made out of green stuff.
I'm VERY tempted to get some of the Warfare figures soon, to see what I can do with them
Watch this space! Maybe after I've got first two French Regiments painted, which are Foundry.
The project is going steadily - hope to have some more figures done by the end of the week, then off to Partizan on Sunday. It's just a case of keeping up with the painting mojo. Thanks for the kind support - your stuff has been an inspiration over the recent months, so keep going with yours as well!!!!
Best wishes
Andy
