Completed H&V 1/16th bust flankenfeuer le bourget1870

[Viking Bob]

A beautifully cast bust, with some great detail. A must have, although outside my normal period of interest.

Lovely work Bob, as you say lovely moulding, I have painted all five of these H&V Franco-Prussian War busts as they are so nice.

Thank you all again,
Gellso on a thread, showed how he painted black leather boots, I did the same for the shako. Here, http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/leather-boots-sbs-any-leather.58613/

Geoff; I like to paint a few more of theirs but they are not Napoleonic or British Victorian.

Mike; you will love it.

Nap; see you soon.

Very good work Bob. You paint them faster than I can buy them. Who does the bust because I've forgotten?

 

[billyturnip]

Lovely piece of work Bob. I think I might just have to take a closer look at this range.
