Grenadier Officer Crimea

[Nap]

Hi Guys,

I found this ages ago and got Jimbo ( nice Guy) to put a forage cap on him as I didn't like the bald head.

Sculpted by Richard Bailey originally for Bonapartes

Acrylic and water soluable oils

Thanks for looking in

Thats a cracker mate, you may have some Royal Scots taking umbridge with the plaque but who cares what they think.

Very nicely painted and a good idea to add the forage cap.

Oops.... the nameplate, I think some Grenadier Guards might not be overly happy either.

 

[Nap]

Okay Okay ...I wanted to finish it ....had the nameplate for ages .....all " legal and physically possible" suggestions are welcome ....from

Both Scots and Grenadiers !

Nap ..all embarrassed ..lol

Kev, there's a chance of forgiveness, albeit a slim one, depending how you voted in the Historical accuracy Poll.

You could always block the word 'Grenadier' out with a row of medals,
So it would read 1st Regt of Foot Guards. which would be correct.
It wouldn't look very smart but nor do the Grenadiers.

Cor Blimey, you've opened a can of worms there, Nap, me old mate. No wonder the bust looks pissed.
Joke's aside you have done a proper job on this one, looks splendid.

Not being a Brit I won't go into all this regimental talk,so I'll just comment on the painting which is very good indeed.Very expressive face and a very well balanced-chromatically that is- figure.

Well this is interesting Kevin, with the bearskin on? you would not have seen anything but a fleshy nose in a bundle of dark hair all held together by a gimp chain.

Well done matey
