officer The Leinster Regiment, (Royal Canadians) 1898.

[Viking Bob]

I had the pleasure of painting this bust from Micks Micks of an unusual subject.
Here is a photo I managed to find on the internet of a group of Officers outside the Officers Mess in Halifax, Canada. I am not sure of the date but 1898 seems to fit the subject.

Cap badge

Belt plate

Collar dogs (badges)

These were supplied By Mick from Micks Micks



Onto the bust which comes in four parts, head , arms and the snowshoes.

Oooohhhh ...I like that young Bob

Great subject ...on my list , really close to top !

Do like the way you've done the blue , nice whites as well , good paint on the tennis racquet ( lol )

good find on the picture I found this ...blurred single officer

Sure there's a colour plate in a Blandford book or similar

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

That blurred Sepia photo is one Mick supplied, the other one I found on the web, although Mick has a similar one too. A fun piece and a good un to paint.
I had seen the osprey book but my converting skills are practically zero.
