Quite agree, saving my energy. Following this one as he looks to be a very good casting and Napoleonic.
Very good start

Hi Mike,

Beautiful paint job on this bust. What paint did you use for the helmet? Also ,shouldn't the cuirasse be the same color as the helmet? I thought the copper cuirasse was for the Officers.

Hi Mike

Great start , the cuirass looking good , the face is really bringing out the features

Like the choice of the flag as well ...this is going to be a eye catching piece

Following with interest
