Cheers Eric, I appreciate it.


Mind you I am up to my armpits in work and Neckel Bavarians at the moment but, some French Staff would round out the year nicely.


Mark 


P.S.  Now I just need to track down Krog - Valois, Elizabeth at Tillbury and the rest of his Henry VIII set.  It is always something isn't it?

[errant49]

Thanks Mark, I am OK
There is no problem to order from Terana  except he does not speak english
He has the original molds of the Gottstein set and the ones recast by D Lepeltier
I will ask him the cost of the set and of a secured shipping to US
For the payment I can make it to Christian and you will pay me back via paypal ( to my knowledge Terana does not use it, but I will check)

Eric, hope you are recovering well!


Do you have any insight as far as ordering from C. Terana?  Louis XIV and his staff was one of Gottstein's sets on my wish list as well.  I would be interested in knowing the price and placing an order.

Yes please Eric, I would like it very much. My reading of French is probably adequate for these purposes, I understood French very well when I was ashore in Cherbourg and Bayonne and as the night wore on it got better. 

[errant49]

Roger, if you are interested I have a painting guide for the Louis XIV staff issued by Gottstein
It has been made by C.Terana
It is in french but maybe could you hve it translate
Would you like a copy ?

Thank you very much Eric. I really wish I had known about Magpie when I started this but I'll just put that down to experience. 
If anyone asks this is his spare horse when Magpie was having a rest. 

[errant49]

Hi Roger,
Nice work
Keep on painting " ancien régime" figures
Just  a small remark : Turenne horse at that special moment ( year of death), was black and white
His soldiers named him " The Magpie "

Thank you very much Wolfgang, yes I like the oils now. 

[böckchen]

No doubt, the oil painting molded shape their skills with the colors.
My Captain, they stay on track!

[Roger]

Thanks very much Rob.
