French Line Lancers Painted tests
Finally I can present the painted test of the French Line Lancers FC-003 and FC-004 command and team; they come with interchangeable and spare arms and saddles, here are depicted as 1 regiment. the Officer is the first miniature and horse i ever did, and it shows it, so i'm doubting to substitute the horse....
French Line Lancers Command & Team
Here the two sets of the French Line Lancers, they will be produced in resin and in metal, will follow other sets with mounting an dismounting and dismounted, you can see my first own casts in the images
This is one of my first work, which I started from conversions , so i had completely re-done most of the pieces, in particular the horses, so now every piece is original.

Franznap Lancers 2nd serie
Finally ready painted the test shot of the French Lancers; took me several months to finish but I'm glad to show you the possibilities of conversions due to separate arms and spare heads.
the mounting and dismounting lancers are quite useful and with a head change could be used as other units.
One offs from the workbench
Back again on business, i'm still not settled in but i enjoyed on some One Off pieces just for warming up again.....
Here a French Guard Foot Artillery officer , and an Austrian hussar welcomed by his dog.
The advantage of making unique pieces is that i have not to think about mold undercut and i can detail everything as i want.
It is almost 1 year since I started sculpting, and I learned a lot, may be i will post some of my experiences in this technique if somebody is interested on.
