Benno's Figures Forum

I got the bottom of the box. Voltigeurs and grenadiers are painted, not as good as the fusiliers, but I like them too. I count 100 nappies on my desk, and a foot artillery peeking out from behind the corner. Now the question is: what movie I was watching during my last brush strokes?

Congratulations for getting to the end of the box! Great figures - almost certainly the best French nappies in Togo :thumbup:

Film? Don't know... :eh:

I would recommend the film Barry Lyndon, directed by Stanley Kubrick. It's not a Nappy film, but close to that era. And it's good.

A scene of the movie I was watching is in the last picture.

I have this box on my table but was it does not include a flag figure. I was hoping the Hat's promised 1808 Command figures box would be released soon so I could start on this project. Looks like you used the entire box to make one battalion. I was going to combine the command box and make four battalions.

I am currently working on the Hat Light Infantry, using the various boxes. I have a WIP going in that forum if you want to have some light troops to go with your line battalion.

Hello Andrea, well you really did it. Wondeful French army, Let the artillery come in support. Btw. I really like the grenadiers.

Greetings to Togo, my friend.

The movie, as nobody else answers, I think a Western movie. High Noon? :eh:

The movie is a Great black and white movie. A hint:

"Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"

Dear Mr. Andrea,

I still want to tell you how much I admire both the painting of your figures and the attention you payed to the bases. Sufficient for gaming on the highest esthetic standards! My compliments.
