Fusilier 14 is what I used to look like after a night on the turps, except the hat was a toilet bowl.

Great work Neil, lots of detail in those figures

[Steve Brodie]

Brill work

Really loving both the progress and the compositions to date Neil; the final outcome will be superb!

Another lesson in fine modelling Neil.
You manage to capture these so well .

[Mini Me]

Keep 'em coming Neil.....yer almost there.

I'm in awe of your skills Neil.

Jim that says everything.
The skill and perfection in the figures is amazing. Not into figures myself but you have to admire the workmanship in Neils work.

Excellent work mate. Looks like he's been on a savage bender and is seriously questioning his life choices! :tears-of-joy::dizzy::tired:

Blimey thank you everyone, it's a relief to know that people are still interested after all this time!
I've just got to knuckle down to the final stretch now, but I might have a little break from it for a week or two, we'll see.
Thanks again chaps!

Another exceptional job.

Well a couple of weeks’ break turned into 5 months! But after a spell In the trenches, a LOT of 3D printing bits for people, wedding preparations and now an actual private commission(see What's on the bench), I’ve got the urge to get back into French dark blue, and hopefully the final furlongs of this marathon.

I dug out fusiliers 15 and 16 and decided the reason I had paused was that I wasn’t really sold on their poses.
Here’s where we left fusilier 15



And this is him now



I was even less inspired with Fusilier 16, so he has gone from this


To this



So here we go again, and I've got another furry pack to do-JOY!
I still don't really know what I'm going to do for the final composition, although I think it might be interesting to have them facing slightly uphill at the Scots Greys thundering down towards them.
Thanks everyone for sticking with this for two and a half years (OMG), and welcome to any newcomers to the party!
Cheers
Neil
