WIP 8th Cuirassier / 69th Kings Colour - Quatre Bras - 1815

[Viking Bob]

Brian, Love what you are doing and as others have said "another Masterpiece".
Hope the thumb gets better but just proves there is a little bit of blood, sweat and tears in what we do.
Best regards

I can only echo what everyone else has been saying... great stuff (as always). Looking forward to seeing more when you haven't got a numb thumb.

Another very nice concept Brian.
Sorry to hear about your thumb ... we've all done sometime.
When I was doing marquetry many years ago, a slip of the scalpel regularly went over a number of fingers.
Wishing you a swift recovery.

Cheers,
Andrew

Looking really good.
For the accident with the thumb: hope he is healing quick.

nice painting brian
i think it is a bit drastic though, slashing your thumb to get a more realistic blood splatter is taking modelling to a new level

Cutting your thumb on a new blade is God's way of telling you you should have changed it earlier. Just kidding mate, hope it gets better soon.
Best wishes, Gary.

P S. the bust is coming on great.

Brian,

Sorry about the thumb - been there, done that! Looking very nice so far. Of course this is all foul propaganda from Gra at CGS. Everyone knows no British regiment ever lost its colours

Ha ha,yes tony,I'm just glad the piece was'nt painted already or it would have been a nightmare getting the blood off

[Kevin D.]

A fascinating piece! Great start!

As all of the rest, sorry for the injury....bummer!!! For my part, I recently pulled a "Young Frankenstein" ...The exacto flipped up our of my hand so I naturally closed my legs to catch it.....I leave the rest to your imagination....

 

[Chrisr]

OUCH!!! Sorry to hear about your accident Brian. Not good at all. Love your work. Let's hope the thumb heals quickly. Can't have you off 'work' for too long.
