It all seems to add to the fun of it all and in a very small way I hope honours the history of the units portrayed.<br />Thanks for your comment<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-49763027504507030812015-11-21T18:27:24.820-08:002015-11-21T18:27:24.820-08:00I think this is one of your best efforts yet.

The figures are lovely, and when I look at them carefully I see that you exemplify the dictum of "paint the unit, not the individual figures", though each figure is quite well done.<br />A very informative post. I found the story of the "Flowers of Toulouse" to be quite moving.<br />Best,<br />MichaelMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-53526486622553262392015-11-21T00:30:23.182-08:002015-11-21T00:30:23.182-08:00Thanks Chaps, glad you like them.
