Terrific work there, Eric.   8) 

That came out exceptionally well. I like what you did with the base too. I'm usually not so keen on flocked bases for flats but your treatment really suits this group.

Yes keeping all the colours uniform makes it a really nice display.

That's a lovely scene Eric, the variation in grey tones for the horses and the addition of the groundwork make it very realistic.
Funnily enough I spotted this forthcoming title from Osprey yesterday,

Here is a little scene I started some months ago
It is made with Mignot figures, gathered in two little groups, and a Kieler figure for the officer
It tooks a little time because the Mignot are not very well engraved and cast and uniforms are complex
I also wanted to paint  different grey horses to make the scene more colourful
Well, at the end, I like it !!! :) :) :) :)
