Le Buste du Héros : Hussard de l'Empire

claude thierry · Dec 12, 2024

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to present my first bust of the famous hussar, showcasing the many fine details I’ve carefully crafted.
I hope you enjoy this creation as much as I enjoyed making it.
It will be in 200mm scale.

A fine and complete model. All the various textures have been rendered beautifully, this is most definately a painters bust.

That's a beauty and I'm sure it will prove to be very popular.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your compliments! It will be available, I believe, in about two weeks. I still need to carry out a few small printing tests. The price is 60 euros.

I'm sure this fine piece will be seen on many club and competition tables in the future and with appropriate conversion of the shako plate's number to represent other hussar regiments.

Thank you very much, Gary, I hope so too. Well, I admit that for the shako, I only looked at the 7th Hussar, so I'm not sure if it's just the number that changes or if there are other differences.

Hi Claude

Forgot to add ....nice touch on the actual base as well

Watching out for release .......obviously shipping is unlikely before Christmas which is understandable

Look forward to the next project from you

Yes, it's a bit tight on the timeline. The next figure will be themed around the Egyptian campaign. I'm still looking for a few documents, but I already have the figure in mind. It will be a surprise!

Bonjour Claude, tu as un site où l'on peut voir tes travaux SVP ?

thegoodsgt · Dec 13, 2024

Really nice work! It's on my Christmas wish list.

Certainly one for my collection. I'll be watching when it goes on sale...

Michaels · Dec 13, 2024

Hi Claude, that's a fine bust. Please give an info, when it is available.

Bl***y Hell! not the 7th again! :playful:

.
But seriously - a fantastic rendition - the minute detail sets it apart.
My ailing memory fails me, and I don't want to attract any backlash here but yes, there are differences between regiments; so, if you are converting, please do some research on how many rows of buttons, pom poms and plumes etc.
I also seem to remember an error I made myself, in depicting the 7th on an old Post Militaire figure, by removing the side plaits and queue, which this regiment in particular held onto long after they were abandoned by the other regiments.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I don’t think I’ll be making another version of the hussar for now, but I’ll keep your advice in mind for my future figurines. :happy:

Absolutely superb. Personally I prefer legs to a rod and pedestal.

Mike

Here is the final version of the bust: I’ve added the sword in its entirety and reworked the base, which I now find much more aesthetic.
