120mm Cambronne at Waterloo

[Peter Day]

I found this in the attic recently and decided to strip it down and repaint it. It depicts General Cambronne shouting whatever it was he did shout at Waterloo, and was sculpted for Verlinden by Derek Holmes.

Morning Peter

Lovely work on a bright palette, very well done.

The Derek Holmes sculpts are so facially distinctive and nearly always teeth, which must have been so hard to sculpt.

And an attic re work too.

Looks like the heat wave will carry on for a few days more too.

Enjoy the balmy weather and Happy New Year.

Here's to 2022 and things getting better

Regards

Andy - Very many thanks.

Warren - Glad you like him. hank you.

Steve - Many thanks. Yes Derek did like open mouths - bit of a trademark. I'm waiting for our visitors to disperse before even thinking of starting the busts, so please bear with me while a tackle another couple of 120mm figures. A Happy New Year to you and here's to a less Covid-ridden 2022.

Well done Peter. Mine has been on the shelf in the closet for decades.

 

[Peter Day]

Cheers Michael. I once built up a 'last stand' diorama with the other figures in the range. I was looking at them the other day and decided that the poses were a bit wooden for me to want to strip them down and re-paint them.
