Officer, 16th Lancers, 1846. 54mm Elite Miniatures (metal)

[Viking Bob]

Got this one from eBay a few weeks ago that Moz was selling. Elite miniatures 54mm in metal.
Painted in Acrylics and for the silver I used a Pilot super colour ink pen. This was used on the sword hilft, pouch box and the pickers on the pouch belt. I used a plastic lid so I could paint the silver with a brush. Pleased with the result.

Nice one Bob. I was on the El Greco sight yesterday and thought I saw this together with a Franco Prussian War French Dragoon trumpeter that had been re released. Might have to dip into the savings.

It's a great little figure, I have been after this for a while and as soon as I got it, FeR minis re release it.
Thank you for stopping by and the great comment.

Mobo, Thank's, you're too kind with the coment.
Gordon, Many thanks Gordon, I will have to get another of these to convert to a 17th Lancer at Varna 1854

Windy, Thanks for the coment, Troop 54 do some very nice Victorian figures in the Victoria's Heros range and a nice 75mm Rifleman.
Thank you all for looking in.

Really a lovely little piece Bob.

Thank you both for commenting, it's a real beauty to paint and great detail.
As for the silver, I had seen some one use it for highlights but thought it is so smooth a finish I would try it
as a top coat.
Thank you again.

Lovely paintwork, Bob.........I particularly like what you've done with the lacework & the subtle highlights on the shell jacket.
I'm thinking about buying one of FeR's 17th Lancer Crimea figures, as the 17/21st were my local armoured Regiment when I was growing up in Nottinghamshire & I knew several local lads who joined the Death or Glory boys in the 1970s.

Nice painting Bob, like what you did with the silver. Have to try this one.

Cheers
