Super work on this one Brian Ive always been a fan of your style

Many thanks sam for your kind coments and contiued support for my work,i'm glad you like it

 

[smudger1960]

Nice job and always a pleasure to see some individual style rather than a rush toward commonality. Your version is very distinctive yet very evocative of the period. Love it!

Colin

Many thanks colin,i'm glad you liked the result mate

Stunning work Brian and your weathering is outstanding. So glad you added apiece just on the flag, always a tricky colour with so much yellow.

Don

Many thanks don,good to hear from you mate,i dont paint many things don with large expanses of yellow as i've had problems in the past,but i've got a system now that suits me when painting yellow and i'm really comfortable with it,take care mate,speak to you soon

I'd be a happy man to reach that standard of work. Simply great. Love the weathering on the shako and all the muck and grime.

I believe it is....there were 2 busts together one the highlander and one a American paratrooper both together and painted in a very similar style to this ...very good

Still have the photos on my phone camera by the way

Some nice painting work on this figure well done
... It does look like a Grenadier Company officer though, not a centre company ensign, and the Sphinx badge of the 28th is missing from the colours ... ?
(The presence of the sphinx badge on the regtl colours of the 28th at Waterloo has been confirmed in contemporary writings at least)

Hi Johan,this is an interesting point you make,some sources have the sphinx present only from 1816,but i have also read on the regimental website that in the regimental museum of the 28th a silk egyptian honour was found at waterloo believed to have fallen from the regimental colour which indicates that the sphinx was present ,an interesting topic i feel which someone will pick up on,in all my referance books related to the 100 day campaign i cant find any clear evidence to suggest the sphinx was present,but if its in the regimental museum it must have been present during the campaign.
Many thanks for your input into the subject

Excellent work, Brian.
Great Napoleonick figure!
Weathering, pattern, everything is so beautiful.

"As most As most will be aware now I do like to add a weathered look to the figure, the ensign as well as the figure would have been subject to heavy smoke and dirt / mud at this time all of which will add to the weathered look of the figure."

Late getting to this one, so as others have said; Very tough to pull off without overdoing it, or having it look like brown paint smeared on, but you have hit it just right on this guy Brian. FWIW, I agree that those 120mm Napoleonic Brits by MOZ 120mm Studio are terrific and always was surprised we didn`t see more at the show exhibit tables, or on PF.
