I've just finished these chaps...having had them 75% done for about the last 2 years :oops:

They represent the 2 Troops of Lifeguards and the Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards.

This is a very nice regiment...Those Front Rank cavalrymen are a joy to paint.
Good job!

They certainly are...although I'm glad I didn't see your Spanish before posting, I'd have chucked mine in the bin! :lol:

hahahaha please don't say that, I find your Lifeguard men quite nice, and have to say I am unable to paint any decent "free hand" designs on the pistol cloth (sorry, Don't know the english name) like yours.

I learned a long time ago from a far better painter than me that the human brain likes finding patterns that it recognises. What does that mean?

Well, don't look too closely at the pistol holders with your eyes, your brain will be disappointed.

As long as you're close, observers fill in the blanks. It's awesome 8)

BTW, I should have said ages ago, Bill Paterson painted the horses - I don't do horses.
