[Kostis Ornerakis]

Amazing work!!!
I can't figure out why you asked somebody else to make, exept maybe to present a second option?

[MABO]

Hey Francesco,

do we have a chance to see pictures of the competition and dios of the participants?
I think your presentation is very good like always. Btw, I had difficulties to contact your HP.

Yes I did and I have sometimes difficulties. And you are no longer listet on PSR. Did you know that?
But I am happy that the site works and I am really looking forward to spend money on your next creations...

Franznap I have to compliment you once more.
There is so much love for the subject in your work.
I searched the internet for other Napoleonic pontonnier-sets.
Surprisingly I found other sets in the same scale.
But your set is the best as far as I can judge.
I love it so much to see:
- one man sitting on his knees hammering.
- one man undressing, he wears no underpants which is pretty correct I guess.
- a couple of men standing in the water, it makes clear why you need to present this in a diorama.
- so many different caps, hats, coats, vests and a variety of colors.
- soldiers working, standing and resting but not fighting (like usual) thats probably what I like most about this work of yours.

And a big plus:
The uniform is quite universal. So if you like, you can use a lot of these figures for other scenarios then bridge building. For example for a camp scene of regular line infantry. Or the chaps with muskets as guards...
Really great stuff. Someone needs to fill up my pockets with cash so that I can buy them all one day.

@ Mr. Cryns
As you described the man sitting on his knees hammering and the man undressing are usefull poses for me too beside the hairdress.

@Zed1
Cash start to get the second Problem. I need one live more to bild all the things planed in my brain. And the space to Store.

Masterpiece, Francesco. That is all that I want to say! Every time I see your Napoleonic figures I recall the wonderful period when I concentrated myself on painting only napoleonic figures.
