    Hi Daniel.
    So I'm finally here too, and I will be happy to watch. On facebook, it's a mess, all terribly fast, and a lot of it can escape the observer. Here, one can really concentrate and calmly choose what to stop and what to watch.

    Beautiful start, I look forward to more photos and I will be pleased to watch the development.

    And, of course, I wish you a beautiful and successful year 2019 to you and to your entire family :)


    Cheers Borek ;)

    I jave bought six more figures from Steve Barber Models from UK.
    I am converting 4 figures to Gardes du Corp , just minor conversion on the pocket flaps and later on on the cuffs.
    The other 2 figures i will make them part of the already painted Gendarmes. 20190125_154455.jpg 20190125_175230.jpg 20190125_181413.jpg 6cdba852fe01bf3449c6f4bee8745bc6.jpg

    I've finished the coats, hatas including the cockades.
    The gardes du corp wore a variety of colors, mainly white, others white and blue, others blue, there was no set rules, so, i decided on blue.
    I added the side curls , hair and the hair bag which was a feature of the cavalry of tje Maison Du Roi. 20190126_173925.jpg 20190126_173932.jpg

    I have decided to convert all of the figures to Gardes du Corp, i will leave one figure as Gendarme.de la.Garde and already ordered 4 more figures to create the Gendarmes de la garde at a later date.
    I have modified the hats a little to resemble the SYW "shape" rather than the teicorn shape used in the AWI.
