Nap, Looking good! Will have to admit, you have undertaken a very adventuresome feat. Creating and Painting a Chasseur no less and his mount in bust format. Awesome, simply awesome! Can't wait to see this one completed. So wish I could see it in person at our Atlanta Show in a few weeks here in Atlanta, GA.

Best of Everything, Terry Martin-Member of the Atlanta Military Figure Society of Atlanta, GA

Thanks Terry ...I too can't wait to see it finished ...its mounted on the base ....and its blooming heavy to handle ....gradually working my way round the gold edging ...its getting there

I am happy a triple thumbs up from you Martin , nice to have you look in

Boy, you must be bug-eyed after painting those leopard spots, woof! It's tough to stay focused on such a pattern, great work Kevin!

 

[Henk]

That's looking fantastic Kev. Looking forward to seeing it all together.
