Siggins Again
More splendid Connoisseur personalities from Mike. Other than being Austrian (presumably) i have no idea who these chaps are - win absolutely nothing if you can enlighten me.
Lower figure is apparently Collerado...spookily I have one of these lying around, and he's about to become a Wurtemburg General with ideas above his station!
Mike's figures remind me of those painted by Doug Mason, featured in so many early issues of Miniature Wargames. The same vivid, subtly shaded overall "look" to them. Very nice indeed and a great way to start off the weekend!

Yes, Colloredo and possibly Charles? I should have kept the packaging.
Very nice work Mike,
good to see well painted figures without black undercoat.
Always feels strange to see a personality called Collerado outside of a gunfight. Will Davout, The Iron Marshal, be next?
I like the figure but the horse is jaw dropping. The trouble with Mikes painting technique is it requires practise and skill, I'm out!
