5th Dragoon, 1854

[John Howard]

Here goes then - the first figure I have done since the Airfix French Grenadier I did while I was still at school (30 odd years). This is the Mitches Military Models 5th Dragoon Guard sculpted by Maurice Corry that I started last year and have only just got around to finishing. It's more an interpretation than a completely accurate rendition I think.


Cheers

Very Nice John.

I Finished mine in May. But I made mine into a 6th Inniskilling Dragoon, as Stormtroopers do a very nice 5th DG trooper.

Nice Work well done

Hi Mick

Thanks for that.

I've got MMM's 120mm 11th Hussar to do next. Hope it doesn't take me as long.

Cheers

After such a long break this is simply incredible. Great work.

Nice one John. If I had 30 years left, I would take a break if I could come back like this

Must be very satisfying to come back to it after 30 years and turn out a fine piece like this. Well done

Thanks for your comments. It was great fun to do and looking forward to doing some more now as time allows. Really enjoying the 120mm scale.

Cheers

I've had this for years, ever since it came out under Moz's own 120.com.
I'll have to get it done and yours could well be the catalyst.
Not the easiest of builds so well done for making a comeback with a challenging piece.
Nicely handled colours, you could consider 'greying' down the pupils a bit.

Hi Derek
Thanks for the comments. You're right about the pupils, they could do with some more work.

Hi John,

Welcome to pF and welcome back to the hobby! Can't really add much to what the other guys have said except agree that after such a long break, this is a fine job.
