Completed Critique bust Retreat of Moscow...

[Ben-nl]

Hello,

I want to show my next finished bust. This one is a big one (25 cm base to tip of plume).
It is a French 9th Hussar trumpeter bearing a 7th line infantry drummerboy.
Sculpted by Richard Bailey and produced by Bonapartes minatures.

Lovely work.
The transparent plinth looks like an ice floe. Nice idea there

I saw the unpainted Bust back in June this year, its a huge undertaking and you have done an excellent job.
Superb painting.

Geweldig goed werk weer Ben.
Heb me altijd afgevraagd of Andrea geinspireerd was voor hun figuur of andersom.

You have done a great job Ben.
I always wondered: Whas Andrea inspired by Bonaparte's figure or whas it otherwise....

Thanks all for kind comments.
yes Mike, it was a complicate work, the result is a very big and nice looking bust.

I don't know Marc, who was first. I think this one is much larger.
