A month ago a friend known on one of the most important Italian forum for collectors and painters of toy soldiers in 1/72, 28 and 54mm, decided to give me a beautiful windmill of the 19th century.
Taken from a painting by Ernest Crofts, this building homebuilt not only magnificent but, for me, totally unexpected, it was a gift more than welcome, motivated by estimates that a person, who perhaps never meet, has proven to me that way.So changed human relationships thanks to the Internet, and we all know something of this evolution ...

| My first piece. |

| This is the windmill on the battlefield of Ligny |

| This the version of Ivan Giuseppe Rodighiero, for me...only for me. The idea was therefore to reciprocate the gift in some way, so I decided to paint a new team of officers to start my second brigade and open as it should the mill. I started with the staff Italeri Napoleon for the first piece.    For staff, my second is a figure of my forum friend "Beppe" Rodighiero, alias Rodighier the brave Voltigeur.  
Destined to rule a light battalion, the next official is a voltigeur but signed this time by the Hat.

First staff of my French officiers.
Group on the battlefield.
Beginning of new campaign versus Prussian Army.
My staff is not finished yet, I am still painting and two other men are at the finish line.
Other two Italeri, one on horseback and an aide de camp are in line, but that's another story ...
Dutiful greetings to all, with special regard to Dirk, Marcel and Stan.
Thanks for your encouragement!
