Great paintwork, especially on the flag. The results of the battle were not as conclusive as the bust suggests.

Thank you Sergei.......if so or not..... It's a great piece to paint whatever happened. If it's not correct, then so be it, i'm no historian, i just like to spend some free time on painting busts which i like.

Not wanting to start a debate..... I am exactly the same.

NO historian just someone who enjoys painting military figurines.

And it was time well spent! I can easily imagine that a flag or two were captured during the battle, so as far as I can say nothing improbable in the bust. Perhaps, specialist in Nalopeon's war can say more about the course of that bloody battle, which ended with no obvious winner.
