Berezina River 1812

[misfit151]

Hi folks...just a quick post before the Christmas break.....being a fan of Napoleonic busts i first came across this release from Medieval Forge Miniatures on facebook and looked forward to its purchase.... It depicts a french infantryman at the crossing of the Berezina river between the 25th and 29th November 1812. I received my figure from El Greco Minatures yesterday....upon opening the box I was amazed at the sculpting....superb.....and the casting... exquisite... the worn uniform and the distressing of the belts is in my opinion fabulous..
I have been aware of this manufacturer for a while and admired the figures ....but this is the first time I have purchased one.....if this 1/10th scale bust is the first in a series then more of the same please.....
You have a choice of Shako or Bicorn.....the epaulettes are cast separate as are the buttons !!!!!
Will crack on with the painting in the new year... All the best from me and have a peaceful Christmas......Mike

Hi Ronaldo,
I don't know if this will help you but El Greco Miniatures over here in the U.K. will have this bust in stock soon, their service is top class but they are closed down now until early in the New Year.
Cheers

Yes Ronaldo, they are closed down from today 16th until 1st January, although they wouldn't be able to send it to yet as it looks like they are waiting for the stock to arrive, you can always place a pre-order Matt & Celine, they are really good and you'll receive it just as soon as they arrive at ElGreco's
Cheers

Hello Ronaldo.
Please look again at the website as we certainly offer various methods of payment and not just PayPal. You can pay by credit or debit card too. As for language barrier, we can speak French and Italian too so send us an email if you have further queries.

Also we just had our Christmas Sale and it is past the latest recommended posting dates for international posting for Christmas. We need to spend some quality time with the family too for the Christmas holidays.

We will receive more stock from Medieval Forge after the new year as it is currently sold out also from them.

Thanks,
Matt and Celine

Dont remember seeing this bust before but it looks like a quality casting and sculpted in a nice pose that makes it very appealing it will be great to see it when painted, following with interest.

MisFit 151, Wow that is a character filled bust of one cold Frenchman . I did not know that such a bust existed! Thanks for posting it. The option headgear is awesome. Would be hard choice of which headgear to use,as they both look great! I look forward to seeing you paint the bust. Thanks for sharing!

He looks superb, cold, fed up and not very happy - excellent.
