However, a lot of big games might have a "corps" being about 7 units + a btty and some cavalry. So I tend to be rather elastic about these things.<br />Doc:<br />Thats the first time in my life anyone has called me a workaholic!..There is one Grenzer unit done, its lurking in the first pic. I'll put up some close ups soon.Chris Cornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266210916076524044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-79533127960193979892010-02-20T06:19:26.677+00:002010-02-20T06:19:26.677+00:00Chris - they are great.

Maybe its a Masonic Lodge thing - apparently most of Hoch & Deutschmeister officers and NCOs were members. <br /><br />I agree entirely with you on Front Rank - they make beautiful figures (albeit a bit Teletubby-ish in proportion) but it is the lack of variety in animation and poses that lets them down. In that aspect at least they don't come close to Elites. <br /><br />Proof's in the pudding - your massed Austrians are the duck's guts for the wargaming table.<br /><br />Mate, your a workaholic - can't wait to see the Grenzers etc.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-64157755513498260562010-02-20T03:52:09.593+00:002010-02-20T03:52:09.593+00:00Great looking stuff Chris.

Wonderful work (as usual). Sometimes when I see some of your completed work, I'm reminded of Wayne and Garth's credo "we're not worthy...."jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-77468077759401500362010-02-19T23:24:31.620+00:002010-02-19T23:24:31.620+00:00Wow! seconded.
