Completed French Officer Franco Prussian War

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

Really beautiful, thanks having sculpt a French Officer or this not really know period of the French history.
Just one question, as it's an officer you can choose quite all Army services (Infantry, Cavalry etc...)
What will be your choice ?
Best regards.

Great figure ! I love this period and you did there one of the nicest figure I've seen from this time frame (together with those of the greatest, Mister Horan).
Would this figure be available commercially ? Will you sculpt also the arabesques on his sleeves ?
Best,
Julien

Thank you all my friends for your feedbacks,
this figure is not gonna be a commercial kit but I am working on a new figure on the same pose in 75mm for HISTORIA MINIATURES.
I was inspired by the well known painting of Alphonse de Neville (photo above) with a minor change on the pose and I want to paint his jacket blue (like photo below), I tried to sculpt the arabesques on his sleeves but 54mm it's a very small scale and I decided to paint them.

Too bad
Neuville is another great master, together with his friend Edouard Detaille, of course !
Eager to see the in progress of this 75mm !
Best,
Julien

ZC, I am very confused about which Army Service to choose so I decided to name the figure just French Officer

Spectacular sculpting. Wow, what an artist. Beautiful,
