This will paint up into a wonderful figure. Carl is one of my all time favorite sculptors.

Another winner by Carl Reid. A fabulous figure and a must have. Painting the drum will most certainly be a challenge as will the drummer lace.

Wow!The only fault is that there is no help for the drumpainting for a lousy painter like me!On my list!How about a French light infantry bugler in this scale?

Just superb !!!!

Hi Tom, its probably ones of the easier drums to paint to be honest. A lot easier than most of them.

Thanks for posting the photo Carl. Now I don't have to search for a Napoleonic Wars version of the drum.

Hi all,
I know this is an old post, but as well as painting figures I enjoy metal detecting. I found this button of the 44th E. Essex Rgt on an E. Yorkshire farmers field recently. Also, I was born in Essex which makes this button a super find for me.
I believe the 44th went to the U.S taking part in the war of 1812

Thanks Nap, wish I knew. Another detecting mystery. I'm now needing to purchase a 44th figure to display with the button.

This is another classic piece of sculpting from Carl.
Great character in the face, and I'm guessing it will paint up nicely.
