The French High Command 'Willie' figures from their Franco-Prussian 30mm collection . The chap on the right is in fact Napoleon III himself ! and seems to be somewhat distracted from his command duties by the Vivandiere !?
'Oh La La !' no wonder they lost the war !!! . For my money 'Willie' did the best female models out there and they must be over 50 years old now . Back to the more mundane painting next.
PS This is one I painted earlier as I can't sit comfortably at the moment due to my op.
Cheeky stuff!
ReplyDeleteVERY!
DeleteNo wonder the French had so many problems in this war, too many distractions! Beautifully painted pieces Tony!
ReplyDeleteThank you , they are such nice figures to paint .
DeleteThose Froggies are clearly not gentlemen, looking is bad enough, but pointing? Quelle horreur!
ReplyDeleteI hope those upright and correct (repressed?) Prussians will make them pay for their caddish behaviour.
These figures are just great fun!
This is what happens when people wear loose clothing (unlike the starched Prussians.
DeleteClassic! Now *that's* a command stand with a difference.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
