Latest from Linjo - Trumpet Major (Red Lancer) Circa 1812

[Nap]

Hi Guys ,

Its always good to see a new bust that will tempt me and the latest from the top notch company in China LINJO is certainly one .

So for the summer (hopefully we might actually get one in the UK!!! ) release in July and hot on the heels of the wonderful de Grouchy we have :


Title: Trumpet Major (Red Lancers) Circa 1812

Scale : 200mm

No of pieces: 6


Material: Resin

Sculptor : Chunmei Zhou

Reference No: LJ 2023




As with most Napoleonic the subject matter is very colourful and this is no exception , the golds (a NMM painters dream) and the reds together with the white uniform epitomises the full dress of this period.


Lots to paint on this one , together with a a real nice "grizzled" look of the veteran in the facial features.


I hope to be able to do a full review on this one in the near future so...as they say watch this space .


For now enjoy the pictures

Very nice, great face - perhaps the fur hat could be a bit bulky?
Regardless of the bust is class!

This one is really very nice

 

[Kevindunne]

Awesome...gotta get one of these.

 

[IIICorps]

Excellent.

 

[Edorta]

Nice sculpt and great painting. The character's face is a bit old, and the reddish touch on the nose suggests that he is fond of drinking. Well achieved.

GREAT PAINTING!

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Perhaps a little defiance of gravity with the bearskin cords given the angle of the head and the plume could be a bit better . nit picking I suppose but at this scale there also needs to be more detail . brutal honesty

 

[MENTAL DENTAL]

How do I get one of these? Who's the supplier over here??

 

[Grod]

Great figure and subject matter. I agree with Eduardo - looks like he's had a few napoleon brandies going by the nose.

Hi David, El Greco are the UK suppliers,

A very nice piece. The face reminds me of an English actor I have seen somewhere, the name escapes me though. Definately likes a drop to drink though looking at that nose.

 

[bagelman1952]

Michael Hordern maybe the guy are thinking of Jazz
