[Vitalino]

I think the hat is too small.
But otherwise the figure is exceptional

That photo is post Crimean war, the figure is Napoleonic. The feather bonnet was smaller then and was changed during the peace running up to the Crimea.

Hi Vitalino. Tahnks so much Regarding the cap: Scotty is right, this is napoleonic figure (1815). At that time bonnets were smaller .

Wow, love the pose and attitude of this figure.
Looking forward to see the colors on the tunic and tartan.
Best regards

Many Thanks Daniel . Unfortunately, the piece will issue a small company on toy soldiers and their painting is really just the basics. But maybe someone buys unpainted cast and creates a nice paint .

That's some great sculpting there Borek.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil, thank you wery much for your praise

Beautiful work so far. Im sure this will be popular when finished an released. I wonder if the scale will be consistent with the famous 54mm Latorre Highlander from this period.

Very well sculpted figure! Very Latorre style! But maybe the shape of the bonnet could be a problem. This looks smaller than that of the Crimean era, but of a wrong shape for the napoleonic one. In the early XIX sec. feathers on the bonnet were put around the diced band of the hat but they weren't dome shaped the way they became in the following decades....and the feathers were of a different kind, larger and less bulky.

Thank you very much, Mat . Real size is approximately 60 mm (56 mm from base to eyes)

I working on the bonnet now, thanks for the notice

My mistake, toy soldier should be small t. Figurine issuing a small company that makes toy soldiers (www.hannahminiatury.net). They only sell figures painted in the style of toy soldiers, but it is possible to agree the buy of unpainted figures. But I must point out that they have cast gravitation, and therefore not within the quality of castings produced by spin casting. Thanks for interesting, but no release date has been established in this time...

Very well sculpted figure !!

I like very much.

Thank you very much for your word

Beautifull figure.

Thanks so much, Marc
