French cheif of de Battalion Algerian 1870

[ellie]

Hi all we are pleased to anounce the first of our new releases for Euro. this has been work in progress for quite a while now, but we are pleased to say that finally we have him in rubber. he is a 75mm Cheif of de Battalion Algerian 1870. the pose depicts the officer in mid battle with the regemeantal standard raised to rally the men. again this is based on a painting from the period so some artistic liceance has been put into it. the original was stated by the late Pete Morton and finished by my good friend Chris Keough (Krissi on PF). the work he has put in on the flag is amazing as some people have already seen who were at figure world and who have seen it at the White rose club will agree.

We will have a limited number for Euro so those people that are interested you can pre order from me for pick up at Euro the price will be £32.00.

We will post more photos later thanks for looking.

Have seen the original of the standard and it is superb, the lettering and embroidery are so finely rendered. Must be a candidate for figure of the year.

 

[juan antonio perez]

totally agree Richard Baxter, by my part I´ll try to do the best of my painting work too.

 

[ellie]

Thanks Juan, I know you will enjoy it, chris has spent meny hours on the flag and it has been very well researched and has been checked and checked again to make sure it's right before we went to the final phase. you don't have to worry about the type fonts and it has the serifs it's all thier

Cheers
