Historex Tambour Major 2nd Regt de Grenadiers (Hollandaise) 1812

[Briggsy]

Finally finished this fella, the most gold I've ever painted in one go. Apart from the head which is a resin NCO Historex item and two hands from Airfix Multipose figures he is completely Historex with only minor pose and uniform detail added by me. Painted wholey in acrylics, the metallics being from Darkstar.





Thank you all for watching and commenting.

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon

You have nailed that ....looks brilliant , the whole character of the subject shines through ....the metallics work really well , love the face on him ...the moustache is smashing ...like the grin he seems to have lurking

The head wear tops it off rather nicely

Great V Bench as well

Absolutely smashing. A very nice, unusual project: well conceived and beautifully rendered.
Again.
Totally nuts, but you made it work.

 

[Briggsy]

Neil, Wolfgang, Kev, Malc and David, thank you all gentlemen I am rather pleased with how he's turned out. The bench is thinning out, only got four projects on the go now, all suffering from varying degrees of apathy. Time to plan the next one!

Cheers Simon

Victor, Przebor, thank you very much gents I glad you like him. I would say no more musicians but my next project is more of the same, if later in the century.

Cheers Simon

Another excellently executed figure Simon. I had a peak at him in the flesh on Saturday and I doff my cap to you sir. Splendid.

Brad, Mobo & Melanie, thank you all so.much for your kind comments, I must admit I am glad he's done the gold work was excessive and I am not sure I want to do that much again, but probably will!

Cheers Simon
