Hello Brian:
One of the things that I've noticed about your figure work,
regarding historical figures is that you paint the figure implying
that this soldier has seen combat, and has been in the thick of it.
I admire that so much about the way you paint the face, the
uniform, the equipment belts, et cetera. Your work has the
atmosphere, drama, and tension of what combat might have
been like. I was in the US Army but I never saw combat. So
I use the term "might have been like". . . as I do not personally
know. But my imagination tells me, you have the feel for it.
Regardless, this is really first class work, Brian. And the
photographs are first rate as well. The Miami Jayhawk
Many thanks Rick,in my early diorama Modeling days over 20 years ago I was fascinated by the great diorama modellers how they weathered their figures and AFVs,I also used to love looking at the great battle paintings as well from the ACW and Napoleonic wars showing soldiers in the thick of warfare,personally for me I like to portray a soldier in the field on campaign.

Aha! So, "La Gloire" progresses; my pleas haven't fallen on deaf ears! Glorious, Brian, from every angle. So looking forward to seeing this at Euro;):happy:. Maybe I'll get the chance to elbow my way through the throng to pick your brains(in the most pleasant of ways!)

Cheers,
Alan
Many thanks Alan for your kind words,look forward to meeting you :)
 
Mate, I am running out of words that come close to my admiration of your work on this Bustorama.
Keep pressing on Brian not too long to Euro.
