Completed Guard Artillery Officer Bust

[Dave Bainbridge]

This is Verlinden's 200 mm Guard Artillery Officer Bust. It's painted in oils over acrylics. This has always been one of my favorite Napoleonic sculpts. I'm donating the figure to the auction at October's Chicago Show.

David, Any chance of posting a larger pic? I like your version of this venerable sculpt, and would enjoy seeing it in a larger format. TIA!

That looks good David, its one of the nicer looking Verlinden ones. I like the fact that the shading and lighting are not too overdone.......yours dominic

As requested, here are larger prints of my bust. - Dave

 

[Don Johnson]

You have a very clean painting style, which I happen to like, and your facial shadowing/highlighting shows very smooth transitions, Painting skills such as yours deserve larger images!! Well done!

[Dave Bainbridge]

The laces are non-metalic oils. The buttons are gold printer's ink. The chin scales and cartridge box strap chain and decoration are Testor's gold enamel.
