Completed French Horse Artillery, 1792.

[Viking Bob]

A long out of production Metal Models 54mm figure of Gunner of Horse Artillery, the revolutionary2.
I was lucky enough to pick this up from e-bay for £18.10.
He is all painted in acrylics, except the face which is in oils.

Thanks for looking in.

Nice work Bob,

I love those old Metal Models kits. They paint up very nicely.

This was my third attempt with this one, he has had 3 Dettol baths and each time I was not happy with the result.
I was beginning to despair with it but persevered and this is the result.
Thanks Mick and Mike , your comments are always welcome

Mike thank you. Appreciated
Thank you John, I was never happy with the look of buff leather or just the plain tunics, so I had to give it a go. Glad you like it.
Mobo, your too kind thank you.
