Thanks a lot for commenting and the compliments Roger, Stralis, Peter, Noel, Ronald, Jan Willem, Steve, Dim, Pedro, Peter, Davide, Ken, David, Mike, Patrick, Meizi, Eduardo.

Peter M: The tail I would have probably done different now, like many other things.

Mike: I used mainly Vallejo model color, also with the airbrush. And some citadel for the metals.

Eduardo: Sorry this is a one off. About the horse. There are some natural variations in horse sizes, depending on the horse race. And as I understood also the smaller horses were used. This horse is a bit smaller compared to most napoleonic horses normally seen in miniature.
The template for my horse and figure is similar to the one that is also sometimes used by Andrea Iotti.

I also attached a photo that I found in a magazine from Andrea Press.


Cheers,
Marcel.

Right, right. Not necessary to be, harmony and excessive proportion between two subjects according to reality, but if there is, is nice to see. Great work anyway.

Marcel, I must apologize, I lost track of your SBS as you were sculpting this piece, and I'm just getting caught up now. Well done, I think turned out just excellent, from your sculpt to your painting and finish. I love Zieten's expression, and the animation of the figure.

As I said at the start of your project, I wish your work were available to us as a kit, I would love to build this and add it to my collection Well done!

Prost!
Brad

Very nice indeed

 

[Tecumsea]

I second Brad, this would be a great kit to paint from a favourite period. The face is just superb in fact it is all a superb piece of work.

Carl.

 

[ChaosCossack]

This is a beautiful piece all round... painting and sculpting.
May I ask where the horse was sourced from?

Great work!!!

Many thanks Brad! No need to apologize, I have been away from PF for too long. Due to my emigration to Spain I spend several months without modeling and spending time on PF. It's time to pick up the brushes again and do some modeling and painting.

Keith, carl and Colin thank's a lot!
Colin: The horse is a copy from an horse sculpted by Andrea Iotti for Art-Girona.

Cheers,
Marcel.
