"OUR HERO...!"
I always did like ARCHDUKE CHARLES - or at any rate, I liked the equestrian statue of him rallying the boys at the Battle of Wagram in 1809, and which stands on the Heldenplatz in Vienna. My name is Robert Swan, and I've been gaming for thirty years or so! Always had a soft spot for the Austrians- who kept bouncing back defeat after defeat, and who did, after all, come out on the winning side of the Napoleonic Wars...
Another one for the bookshelf...
...once I can afford it! Like the Austrians, I am subject to occasional "impecuniousity", so this one will have to wait a while yet. Anything by Jack Gill is worth getting, though.
It starts here...
Osprey's Campaign series is a good start, and has a good order of battle.
...and continues here.
A very interesting campaign history from the French/ Confederation of the Rhine side.

Amazing and so beautifull.
Thank you.
Could we have a little tutorial about yours basing technics ?
Fantastic! I am thinking of doing some Nappy's and find your descriptions with Adler and Baccus interesting.
Basing is quite simple:
a)I usually carve the base so the base on the strips fit it without extrudig too much on top of the base (you can skip this phase if you like)
b)I glue the figs on the base
c)I paint the base with Vallejo's sand brown
d)I put PVA glue all over the base and deep it in grit
e)I glue the grass by large patches (rather bright green)
f)I ink the base with a mix of water here and there with Gamesworkshop's chesnut ink
g)I heavily drybrush the grit with Vallejo's buff then highlight with Vallejo's Ivory
h)I ink again lightly the same area that were initially inked
i)I glue some darker vegetation and long grass.
I recommend strongly to go to a very specialized train shop, you will be amazed with the richness of materials available. One last piece of advice is to use rather light materials and light colors, they will help the figures stand out, otherwise they will "sucked" into the base.
Thank you a lot. I will try this method as soon as possible.
your minis look outstanding, the bases really do look the part.
good job.
They look great.
How do you do the shako cords - yourslook much more solid and neat that I seem to be able to get.
Thanks
Excellent painted minis!
Greetings
