Well done, Francis

This sculpted piece with all the little details as part of the base along with
the soldiers equipment, et cetera, really give this presentation a lot of eye
appeal. A most interesting piece, of a setting that isn't done that often.

Beautifully photographed as well. I really noticed how the texture and tone
of the background or backdrop compliment the color and texture harmony
of the entire presentation. I'm sure the background wasn't selected by
accident, or willy nilly.

Congrats.

Your Royal North British Fusiliers

Francis, I too like the Crimea. Would love to see this one in production as well. While I can appreciate the recent releases from WWII< WWI and the Ancients, I would much prefer something from the Crimean Era. Your bust of the Rifle Brigade was awesome and this little gem another one that grabs my attention. Hope to see some manufacturer take your talent and put it into a kit...

All the Best, Terry Martin-Member of the Atlanta Miniature Figure Society
