Dick originally had included all of that wonderful terrain in the sale to me, but he found a local buyer and in truth it would have been too bulky and costly to mail, but would have been a really nice addition to the collection!

She's in the carriage in the photo entitled Messina's Staff. I'm not an expert on Spanish uniforms (yet), but do think these are all later period uniforms, mostly from the lack of bicorns and bearskins. <br />You are correct about Dicks detail work. It is really phenomenal! I will be touching up the units one by one so they will eventually all be nice and shiny. Right now there is a bit of a mix, so I don't believe he put a protective coat of clear varnish on them.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-83595884313906554372019-05-05T02:57:06.599-07:002019-05-05T02:57:06.599-07:00David, thank you so much for giving us a really ex...David, thank you so much for giving us a really extended view of your new treasure. I didn't spot Massena's mistress, was indoors awaiting her hero or did I miss her painted as a hussar?<br />The painting is not shiny but is pretty impressive bearing in mind how small those figures are; Richard must've had a steady hand as he was really good at painting fine lines. <br />Also jealous that there's a sizeable Spanish contingent as they seem pretty rare these days; are they all in 1812 uniforms?<br />I do hope these stir more old-school longing across the pond.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-10918543488895158492019-05-04T15:48:13.467-07:002019-05-04T15:48:13.467-07:00Paul,

I first saw a collection like these in the pages of Bruce Quarrie's Airfix guide to Napoleonic gaming back in the late 70s. I never dreamed I would have one to treasure and game with myself!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682631274573026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813532882741884491.post-14076725953229276642019-05-04T12:26:20.073-07:002019-05-04T12:26:20.073-07:00Thanks Will.
