La liberté ou la mort! - French officer of the squadron Hussards de la mort

[Katjuscha]

Hello,
I finished this bust last month. It's called:

La liberté ou la mort!
French officer of the squadron Hussards de la mort,
Austrian Netherlands, Autumn 1782

It's from elan13, 1:12, plinth from SK Miniatures, with some conversions at the hat, dolman and pelisse. Plume, pipe, cartridge box, skull at the plinth and base itself are scratched. Painted with Vallejo acrylics, oils and printer inks.




It take part at the FOTM Octobre contest:

I hope you like it.

Regards,
Philip

Thank you both!

Great work. I like the extension to the pipe.

Last year I visited the Pipe Museum in Amsterdam and I was overwhelmed by the mass of those impressive artworks. So I wanted to make such a lovely kind of pipe too.
