Hi Carlo,

I love this set too! Your painting example on the trumpeter is terrific! I did not know it is in such beautiful green jacket. What unit is this?

The figures look great, indeed. But the trumpeter is not 100% accurate. By the look of the riders I would presume they are representing the second cuirassier regiment in pre-1813 uniforms (because of the plumes and the trouser), so the green jacket is correct. The trumpeter has a white lapel around the collar - it should be yellow/gold in same pattern as the stripes on the jacket. Additionally, the tail on the helmet should be more white instead of black.

Thanks friends for nice words !!!

Yes, I made some Errors , I will make all these adjustments ! thanks Zedalist

Wow, phenominal!

The painting is to a standard I can only dream to acquire. How long does it take (approx) for you to paint this many figures in such detail? How many have you painted (Cuirassiers)?

I try to attain a balance between reasonable detail and large numbers.

All your figures thus far in the gallery are superb!

Utterly superb! The detail is breathtaking.........

How on earth did you manage to paint the braiding on the trumpeter??

Hi Carlo,

Zedalist, Thank you for the valuable information.

I think its very important to have good balance between accuracy and artistry, there are time it is necessary to be "inaccurate" to be beautiful.

By the way, I just visit your website and I LOVE IT! Very happy to see top quality blog!

BTW, your wife does beautiful ground work. I'm also very lucky to have a woman who is involved in this hobby.

Please keep up with the excellent work!
