Harry's worked out really well Gary...I like him alot.
I think it's great to do something new for a change....and flats sure need a different approach.
Did you have any challenges crop up during sculpting.?..it looks like it all went very smoothly. A very clean piece of work.

Looking forward to your next project.

All the best...Roy.

Matt, Thanks. I am going to set this aside and do a few more. After that I may see if someone is interested in producing them. Though this is not a flat in the traditional sense, it would be neat to have some that depict American subjects. I'm more than likely going to do another bust and then try a full figure in 75-90mm.~Gary

Roy, Thanks. The shoulder strap on the epaulet is the only part of the piece I'm not sure about. If it was not for having other projects, this did not take much time to do. I definitely will be doing more.~Gary

Great work Gary.
I really like this piece. I hope you find time to do more like it.
I would like to see more new flats in general but, especially subjects
from 18th century North America. I hope you are able to find someone to
produce them. I saw the start of the Lt. Col. Washington piece. It looks like
a good one too. Perhaps one day I'll get a chance to paint one of these.
Keep up the good work.

John, Thanks. I do plan on doing full figures. The busts are just a way of easing into it.~Gary
