Beautiful job. I've done a couple from this (Crimean) series but have shied away from this one because of the gold lace. Seeing the great job you've done on it, I really must nut up and dive in.
I concur about the scale... I think 75 is perfect for painting. Big enough to make the detail crisper but not so big as to need a roller to paint the larger areas

Again, fantastic work

You've done a great job on this! I particularly like the face. I've painted this too, it's a really nice figure. (I'm currently painting Maurice's 75mm 17th Lancer.)

Thanks Edward for the kind words . I to have the 17th lancer.They are certainly great sculpts by Maurice.Look forward to see your version.

A beautifully painted and presented figure. It would look even better in 120/150mm.

Mike

Thanks Mike for the kind words.I like the larger scale figures too,but just my personal favourite 75mm.

Lovely job on this John. I still have mine kindly given to me by a fellow member here, but haven't had the time to paint it. I'll use yours as an inspiration.

Thanks Mike,glad you like him.Hope the pictures will come in handy for a paint guide.If you need any colour reference to the mixes I used,please let me know.

John, you've done an excellent job of this wonderful figure.
I've done one of these and I can honestly say, I'd use yours as reference if I ever did another.
A smashing job.

Thanks Blind Pew for the kind words. Feel very honoured that you would use him for a reference.

Super job on this figure and not an easy paint with all that blue to do. Mine is waiting in the wings for the Crimea bug to bite again. Love the face on yours too.

Colin

Thanks Colin for the kind words. I did enjoy painting the face. Maurice Corry certainly sculpted a great Victorian face with this guy and of course, many of his other works.The face is what caught my eye first with this sculpt and the very natural relaxed pose.

Very nice John
These are wonderful figures from Moz ,The detail is so fine that it takes careful painting not to lose it .
Well done Sir

Ron

Thanks Ron for the kind words. Yes there is alot of great details on these figures,and it does take a bit of time get it right.I feel it is worth it,they are great sculpts.

[John Belcher]

Beautifully done, particularly the face (but the entire presentation is great).

Thanks Ometz for the kind words.

Hi John,

Apologies for being late to jump in and give you a well deserved pat on the back for this figure. A cracker.

Just wondering how you found the acrylic paint and dealt with the inevitable sheen?

Well as I've already commented on this figure on FB, I can only say how lucky I am that John lives a few blocks from me so will have a wee peek in person soon!
