Latorre Figure of the Week: Sergeant, 71st Regt of Foot 1825

[Anders Heintz]

Since the past three weeks the blog has only recieved updates in the form of Horan figures, while that is pretty cool in it self, I thought for this week (though a bit late...sorry!) that we'd change it up a bit. So here is an absolutely fantastic original by Raul Garcia Latorre. I have not had the pleasure to see many of Latorres figure in person, but I have seen about 6-7 of them (and have pictures of all of them!!) and they are really something to study. The pictures doesn't do the pieces much justice but they will be good to use as reference for studying techniques and color placement. Enjoy!

Beautiful figure, both Latorre's usual impeccable sculpting and your wonderful paint job.

As I've said before, any figure painting effort that can survive so well under extreme close up scrutiny, such as this example, is a real credit to the artist.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the pictures!

Just to be clear, I did not paint this figure, it was sculpted and painted by Latorre. It's even better in person, may be one of the better figures I've ever had the pleasure to see!
