As I do not have a good English as well as the "Master" of review: NAP, you will just see a "open box"
As I already wrote, the bust can be the basis to realize any infantry drummer of the Napoleonic army.
Even a infantry Guard drummer (Young Guard)!
I already posted the references of the relevant documentation, but a reminder is always good!

Paul ,

Would like to see this close up shame Bonapartes won't have reviews done !

Quote:
i have to say I will have to add the rest of the legs to mine and remove the whiskers.

I think he would look better as a younger man.......
I mean Nap, the drummer itself is fine.

YOU CHEEKY Oooop NORTH fellow

I agree mate , no legs from me , also think it's so close to a full figure should have been finished fully...

I reckon those arm chevrons need reworking looking at Luc's great references

Needs to be given a shave like you say ...but suppose not all drummers were young like us ..sorry me

Nap
 
Paul ,

"Would like to see this close up"

You'll be sitting just to the left of it in a fortnight if Bonapartes taje their usual sales spot at Folkestone mate !

Quote by outraged of the shires: YOU CHEEKY Oooop NORTH fellow ....edit....I reckon he needs to be given a shave like you say ...but suppose not all drummers were young like us ..sorry me Nap.

You keep thinking that 'Dorian Kev', one day that painting in the attic will come unstuckn and then you'll look like a distinguished prune like the rest of us.

Loveyoubye.

Paul
