Officer, Chasseurs d’Afrique, c.1870

[Canoehead]

Hey all - this one just completed; a Chasseur d’Afrique at the Battle of Sedan during the Franco-Prussian War. It’s a little gem of a sculpt in 1/16 from H&V, painted in oils and acrylics.

Thanks all - very kind of you.

Simon - thanks for the kind words about the embroidery - it was unbelievably finely sculpted, no idea how it was done but it was incredibly fine. Best I could do was to very gently catch the top of the relief using the side of a paintbrush.

Top shelf!!! Very nicely done indeed. You have really captured the texture of the cloth. Reminds me of Mike Butler's work.
