Major Dragoon Regiment No 7 walking out dress 1900

[Briggsy]

A new scale for me hoping I can get a better result with more room to play with. Quite happy with the size though the figure is a little wooden in pose, I was going for arrogant self disciplined Prussian militarism.

Made on the torso, hips and head of a stripped down Historex figure using Magicsculpt in the main. Painted entirely in acrylics and mounted on a resin base from Sovereign 2000.

Good work, I would say erect and square to the front rather than wooden. I need to get back to my own project, you've inspired me!
All the best,
Scotty

Wonderful, Simon. I really like what you did with this figure and it's process of creation. Captured the colouration of the period exactly. Congratulations

Many thanks Cyrill, I do like my figures to be more relaxed than in dynamic poses.

That’s turned out to be superb Simon…..an array of skill on show.

Cheers mate, not my best but I like it and am very pleased with all the positive feed back I have had. I enjoyed the process and really that's enough to keep going.

Lovely, unusual subject and colours. One to be proud of.

Many thanks for that, I approached the pink with trepidation as it would be so easy to screw it up, but quite pleased with how it turned out.

Very nice Simon, it's turned out really well. I like the character you got into the head, he looks very Prussian. I like the way you did the reflection on the peak, it looks very effective (I assume it's painted on....).

Great finish, Simon, well done! You gave him a great expression. I look forward to your next project!

Prost!

[Steve Ski]

Excellent, Simon, very well done.

 

[Tommy Atkins]

A very striking piece Simon- the coat colour is very attractive. Nicely done! Regards Pete

 

[Briggsy]

Nigel, Brad, Ski and Pete, thank you all very much. I was going to start my new thread today but ended up in A&E most of the day, seems I need a new right hip all.of a sudden. On the plus side if I'm in recover following the surgery I should get plenty of bench time, well that's the plan


Cheers Simon
