Another legionnaire bust

[akaryu]

Hi fellow Planeteers,
Here is my third bust this year, an old Present Arms bust long out of production, of a foreign legionnaire of the 5th Battalion, Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871. With thanks to member dArtagnan who sold me the kit. As always painted in oils and comments/critic welcome of course. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the comments, anyone knows who was the sculptor for Present Arms?

That's very nice, subject and painting. I hadn't seen this bust before.

(I knew Ian would like it. )

Glad you like it Nap, but out of production since the dawn of civilisation I'm afraid and of course he has not a single medal on his proud chest, the poor bloke!
