Beautiful figures as always from Gringo40s. I will definitely have to get round to doing a Maximillian game, Colonel Dupin is irresistible.

Extremely beautiful! What I like the most though is the pose of the horse. Out of the usual for what will be used in units!

Great figure. At last there will be some high quality Mamelukes available. I have a personal hang-up about separate arms (I’ve never liked them and have never really understood the attraction) but I think the sculpting is fantastic.
One query — I remember reading somewhere that the blunderbuss was reserved for parades and never carried on campaign. Is this correct?
That question aside, brilliant figure!

Tom
thanks for your positive imput….like you I was initially against the separate arms
but it allows me to produce loads of different troopers and a few suprises! photos to appear on this site
ref the Blunderbus officially it was deemed available only for parades but due the
clamour caused the Mamelukes at the outset had two pistols..axe..blunderbuss ..dagger..sabre..and anything else they could lay their hands on as the empire progressed some sense prevailed with the input of native Frenchmen but it was still deemed de rigour to be armed to the teeth and never be taken alive…gulp!! regards Ged http://www.gringo40s.com
