Musee de la Cavalerie - Saumur, visit summer 2019

Right folks - some pictures from my summer visit to the Cavalry Museum in Saumur, hosted in one of the old building used for training French Cavalry -  mostly images from Napoleonic times.

Worth an hour, not much more.

Two Brigades of 28mm French Infantry for Sale - plus skirmishers. Mostly Essex, some Perry sculpts from Foundry

My clear out continues -

These are figure I painted a long while ago  - many of them in my teens.  I loved he Essex figures, they seem so much better than the Hinchcliffe ones I had grown up with.  Then along came War-games Foundry and those fab Perry sculpts.

28mm Perry Miniatures Napoleonic Voltiguers painted as swiss from the 4th regiment

These are a group of 6 Perry Miniatures figures painted up as swiss - probably about 1811, 1812.   

I've popped them up for auction here.  

A thought on the pictures:  I photographed this in bright sunlight - which makes it easier to get them clearly in focus - but is too contrasty for my liking.  I wonder if bright sunlight but with a diffusing box is the way to go, benefits of lots of light but no harsh shadows.
