A month later (You need to read INCORRECT ADDRESS Post in this General Forum to do not repeat myself)... THE CRIMEAN ALMA/INKERMAN Project is ON. A hundred days later (You all know what Napoleon could do with a Hundred Days) the "lost Baccus parcel with proxies" arrived home. Battered, dirty and with a wrong address (Incomplete) BUT with the French Imperial Guard Grenadiers Skirmishing that were a breeze to convert to Guardsmen for the Crimea... so hold on to your hats... maybe by the end of this year between Robert Jackson (Greg) and yours truly we will have built the remaining Infantry and Artillery (ALL NAPOLEONIC PROXIES from BACCUS). Huzzah!

So, to cut a long story short... here we go! (scratching with a cutter some too French detail in the bearskins... out with the sabre-briquet... and out with the bayonets... also had to streamline the "cuckoo" (French Eagle to you) ... ready to paint!... It has been ages since I tried my hand to Infantry in 6MM... but I am stubborn... oh yes I am...

I shall be very interested to see how this unfolds. I remember that you did a marvellous job with the Charge of the Light Brigade.

A little goes a long way

I appreciate everybody who has an opinion and favorite battle/period. Baccus is always creating new sculpts so I imagine its just a matter of time as to when he will have all bases covered. But I would think it will probably take a few years yet!

The Full Brigade lacks still a couple of standard bearers currently on the post. Mounted officers (proxies of course) in the works. Hopefully next pics will show the based, flocked and varnished. Those pics are simply to certify that the thing is feasable... Peter was right... proxies was the thing to do! Cheers

50 days later the Pendraken parcel arrived... and now the Scot Fusiliers are glued on... no flags yet... have to do the texture in the stands... and that will be it!... stubborness sometimes pay off. One thing I can tell you now for sure is that Baccus has all the proxies you need to do the British in the Crimea... so much for the French Allies... and not doing the Russians at all... but I guess they can be done too.
