Thanks Mr Cryns, I do know the Croebern work and think its really very impressive - much better than my efforts. Yes you can see some green paint on my stands (actually its Vallejo Flat Green) and I will endeavour to cover it up - sorry it screams at you.
Poor old Louis Bonaparte - marrying your brother's step daughter was always a bit close to home - maybe he should have stayed in Corsica and ploughed his own furrow. Still, at least his son became an Emperor, but that ended badly too.
