NYW 15mm French Commander




As some of you may know I'm painting up an Allied army for The Nine Years War/War of the Grand Alliance/League of Augsberg, my pal and fellow Reject, Richard is painting up the French army.
Now Richard has come up with every excuse under the sun as to why he's not painted as many units as I have. I believe its just laziness on his part, he he! Not really Rich!!!!
He sent me this photo of his French Command stand, Rich hasn't chosen who this stand represents yet, but  it looks like the Duc de Luxembourg to me!!! I think he's made a grand job of this mini diorama, the figures are a mix, the artillery and artillerymen are from Essex and so are the horses, the riders are the Donnington figures. He's painted up several units both infantry and cavalry already, hopefully I'll post some morw pics of his work at a later date.
Cheers
Ray

    Looks like an A-1 job on the ones Rich does get done then. I picture Luxembourg as an old man, hunchbacked, whereas this one's kind of young and dapper. It could actually pass for the younger Churchill, but the last I heard of him helping the French was in '78, at Maastricht with the Three Musketeers and Cyrano de Bergerac. How much did the look change in those few decades? I'd probably still wear clothes from '78 now if they'd fit.

    Really excellent vignette. The Duc de Luxembourg was a fine commander ... who better to lead the French against the Dutch and Grand Alliance!

    Those are excellent work. I struggle to get anywhere near as much detail on 15mms. How does he do it?
