Foot grenadier of the Guard.

[Viking Bob]

The classic pose of a tired soldier.
Here he is completed. I wanted to do a snowy ground but I had stuck the figure to the base, oh well, maybe next time.
Painted in acrylics and oil and great fun to paint. The ground work is lightly dusted with Mig powders, dark mud and Europe dust. Whats the difference with other dust, don't know.
Hope you like it PeeDee.

All the best
Bob

Great finish Bob, I love the expression on his face, it says it all.

I like that. One of the most boring butbiconic uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars. Great attitude.

Very nicely done,sir. He's a soldier from head to toe.

Your dust I like...... it's nice dust,......... possibly the best blend bob, better than that is the fact that he is weathered and worn but the weapon is immaculate.
Most admirable too is your use of the tussock.
You really can't beat a belgian or polish tussock added to the top of a hillock,
especially when envied by kev nap the pillock.

You can't tussock a bust bob, .

Vraiment I'll est formidable mon brave,
Ce'st le premier groniard de jour !!
Excellent.
Salut maintenant

Well done indeed. If one is a First Empire fan, this is ground zero as subjects go. I like it!

You pulled off that pensive look very well Bob. Of course everything about him, his gear, his shootin iron and the ground work are all superbly handled !
