Amazing detail on the textures in such a small scale. Fantastic work. Rgds Victor

Hi Paul An older kit which seems to be available is from Tradition https://www.traditionoflondonshop.com/en/54mm_model_soldiers/crimean_war_1854/m54_44_trooper_17th_lancers_kit~3232 Rgds Victor

Perhaps to clarify my points, I attach more pics from the Bucquoy book as well which shows more Chasseurs with the scalloped edging shabraques. I think that perhaps all the different types of edgings were used during the early years of the Nap Wars. These then were standardised into wolf teeth...

Hi Steve, That's an interesting figure to model. From the pic, that edging looks like a wavy strip of cloth sewn overlapping to create a scalloping effect, not wolf teeth edging (more associated with sheepskin shabraque). If you look closely, most of them seem to suggest this scalloping...

Very nice and unusual unit. More like this, please. Rgds Victor

Hi BlindPew, Thx for yr very kind comments. I still have a lot to learn. Victor

Hi Simon, Nigel, Kev and Melanie, Thanks for yr overly generous comments. This is prob a one-off piece for me. I usually work in 1/32. The kit was given to me many years ago. I really procrastinated on finishing this piece..... Rgds Victor.

In between my many other projects, Ive just completed this one-off Verlinden figure conversion which was sculpted by Sid Horton. Hope you like it. Rgds Victor

Hi Mike and Nigel, Thanks for yr kind comments. I liked this painting g because it has a lot of frenzied action. I subsume my sculpting and painting technique solely to the piece at hand. I try to emulate the original painting style of depiction as much as possible. I pt in oils and use both...

Hi Kevin, Mobo, Edorta and Melanie, Thank you for yr nice comments. I have a very large and varied ‘spares’ collection comprising new and trashed figures from which I draw upon for my projects. Rgds Victor

Here is the original pix from the internet for yr ref.

Hi Simon and Adrian, Thanks for your comments. Notice the high vantage viewing cropped frame. It helps to heighten the visual perspectives as well. Rgds Victor

Richard Caton Woodville did a bw illustration of the Siege of Badajoz (The Devil's Own), based on the 88th Regt Connaught Rangers. This picture was later colorised and I based my piece on these two pictures. Shakos and other details are not quite correct but I'm following the painting. I...

Excellent!! That sculpted face is also terrific. Rgds Victor.

Thx for the trip down memory lane. Rgds Victor
