Edouard de Colbert (2) First Legion 54mm

[Edorta]

Hi to all. This is my second version of Edouard de Colbert in Waterloo, 1815. This time I made a more elaborated ground. The figure is painted with acrylics. All comments welcome.

'Flippin' gorgeous' is a good comment

Not sure what the first one was like, but this is really nicely painted - well done

Very nice Eduardo, what are you thoughts about the kit?? I've been waiting to see more reviews before buy one

 

[Babelfish]

Both versions are very nice, but I like the way you have paid more attention to the groundwork for the second one. This improves the whole thing.

Thank you Rodrigo and Steve. At this point I have painted Colbert, and Marlborough, next month I will paint Ney. I also have two more to paint, Lord Uxbridge and the Archduke Charles from Austria.
I think the quality is as good as other famous brands, and the kits are very well prepared for a secure and easy assembly. The cast is clean and well detailed.

Eduardo, make sure you check the Ney figure for the correct head ! Two of my friends, and I, have Wellington's head instead of Ney's ! And no help from First Legion, either! I can see how the mistake was made, as the two heads are similar, but not good product control......... I am curing mine with a converted Historex head.

[OldTaff]

I'll use Wellington's head for something else, as it's not a bad likeness

Stunning work, Eduardo. You've done a great job on all the finery of his uniform. A beautiful piece!

 

[Edorta]

Thank you Nick.
Thanks for your notice Alan, I have checked out the kit of Ney, and it comes with the correct head. ( I feel lucky)
