Thank you Ray!
The problem is that each mini still takes 4 to 5 hours, so I would have to ask for around 40 Euro. At least I would not be asking for as much as I get for my dayjob (where I can charge 100+ Euro per hour).
Ney will be done as well, although not for this base. After Soult I will paint Napoleon and begin with the base. Depending on how the base turns out space wise, I might add a few minis, but those will most likely be level level officers or troops marching by. I will use the Perry set with him and his ADC's charging for Ney. I would love to add one or two Cuirassiers being shot from their saddles, but I doubt there will be near enough space on the 8x8cm base for R2E!
