Model Maniac... What does "Carabinier" mean, by the way?...
Trained to use a carbine.
Grenadiers were trained to throw grenades.
Great work!!
Thanks for your kind comments, hobby_link. I think the handwriting and the glued on words contain some information. Without them, viewers will have to guess what figures and what nationals are these. What would you suggest to replace them?

EasyMike Model Maniac: The Frenchman is a Carabinier Officer. You can tell officer status from his cuirass straps and the lace on his collar. Looks like the Verlinden 200mm carabinier general bust.

It was "Joh" the builder who came up with the name and the year 1815, I don't know where he got that from. What does "Carabinier" mean, by the way?
nice job on the bust the only thing i do not like is the hand written WW I pilot and looks like glued on words atthe bottom of the US Tanker I think it takes away form the busts themselves

Thanks jetmodeler and Richard for your kind comments and suggestion!
The one I like is the WW1 pilot. It's clean and the colors are just right. Please tell Joh from here on if he can experiment with shades, darker for the shadow areas and lighter on the top. Decide on where the light source is coming from. It will enhance his figure even more.
Cheers,
Richard

deafpanzer Thanks for posting. Tell Jon I liked the WW1 US pilot the best. Eyes and tones were spot on!

The WWI pilot does look the best. He did a pretty good job on that one.
Many thanks for your kind comments, deafpanzer! I'll pass it on to "Joh" the builder.
the french guy needs a wash on the armor, but very nice job!

I got these busts second-handed, partially painted. I don't know their exact name and scale. They were all repainted by "Joh".
