Fusilier, Regiment du Roi

[billyturnip]

I have just completed this 54mm flat from Fredericus Rex of a 18th century French Fusilier of the Regt. du Roi.

Roger
this looks great. I always think that white sets the benchmark for flats and it looks like you've nailed it.
Picked up a few flats over the last couple of years at HvB in Igolstadt really need to get started on them.

Derek

Very good work on a not so easy flat.

Thank you Marc. Not easy but a great little figure to learn some new things.

Hi Roger
Nicely painted flat. The photo certainly gives the impression of it being a fully rounded figure.

Cheers Pete, if it looks rounded to the viewer then that's great

Nicely done and nice colours.

Thank you John

Roger.

 

[Dan Morton]

Well done, Roger! It's amazing how you trick the eye into believing the figure is rounded.

All the best,
Dan

 

[Jamie Stokes]

Roger, always good to see you work.

Like the others, it looks like a round figure, rather then a flat,

well done!


Cheers

 

[billyturnip]
