Dragoner Leutnant

[akaryu]

Staring at me for many years from my unfinished projects cabinet was this bust from Celtic Models, long OOP, of a German Dragoner Officer 1914, rather similar in subject if not in quality, to the iconic figure Derek Hansen sculpted for Kirin. I finally decided to slap some paint on it! So here he is: a Leutnant of the Dragoner-Regiment Nr.5 in 1914. Thanks for looking!

Hi Pierre

I had this many moons ago ...can't find it now !!

Very nice painting there , I think the full figure and this was based on a painting

Like the uniform colour on this piece

Derek H ...sadly missed wonder who sculpted the bust ?

I think Celtic also released a Celt standard bearer bust as well ( with a boar on the pole ) ...I have one painted but would like to do it again !

Why not put something into FOTM as well ?

Thanks Nap!
Both Derek's full figure for Kirin, which is still lingering in my grey army, and this bust are based on the work of Fortunino Matania "The strongest":

I wonder who sculpted the bust for Celtic Models?
cheers,
