Great!!!
thanks for showing them.
The French were fighting in 1640 nearly in all parts of western Europe, from Spain to Germany and from Italy to Flanders. But they are not often shown in tin-figures. There are some wonderful von Droste figures of French foot and it is very nice to see this figures.

Hi Eric,
that is a wonderful painted and very dynamic group. It is also one of my favoured periods.
Very well done. If there are more to show......

Well, Eric's soldering a scene has something of it's own :)

I must say that the soldering was made by a friend of mine for whom I painted the group
