hi!
this is my latest work which i have just finished.

I could not resist painting this superb fig, which has been released a few years back.
Not very original, but so pleasant to paint.

The Bashi were Ottoman Guards, and the Kavas was responsable for about a hundred guardmen.
They were usually very richly dressed, gold and red being the traditionnal colours.

sculpture by M.Bruno for Pégaso

I added a few scratched made parts in order to make it look a little bit original, and to fill in emty spaces.
The main difficulty concerns the tissu pattern, which must remain barely visible at that scale.
Oil painted ;)

the Balkan inspired riffle (Dzeferdar) is a very weak part, as it broke off a couple of times, and must be handled very carefully.
Altogether, a very nice fig highly recommended even though it has been seen around before !!!
