Polish Lancer Trumpeter

[Blind Pew]

Hello Guys, just to show you why I've been so quiet since Euro - this is what I've been working on....hope you like it ....

At this point I must thank Roy Hunt for the invaluable help he gave me in converting the right arm - which is essentially what made this project possible. Thanks again mate

Outstanding! I am considering doing a Dutch Lancer trumpter and your figure might just be the inspiration I need.

Awesome................beautiful work Anthony. Any chance of a photo of the full horse and figure?

Anthony, this is really great.
So far i like it. I think he isn't finished yet???
If so, excuse me, but i think that the white can have some more contrast specially the gloves, and you got to check his left eye.
Sorry for the needpicking,

Marc

If your looking for color you can't go wrong that subject.~Gary

 

[petermh]

excellent work what is the scale of the figure and who is the manufacturer?

 

[Paul Kernan]

Nicely done, Anthony. Typically strange (ok, unusual) Nappy colour but you carried it off very well. What combo did you use? and I hope it was an oil mix

 

[Roc]

Anthony, beautifully painted, a subject matter that I really like.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Roc.

The figure looks great, nice colors...

Thanks again Fellas, you're very kind as always.

Marc, I reckon I'm a victim of bad lighting...looks ok in the flesh. That's my excuse anway :lol: I will aim to get to the AMSS next year so you can see it for real.

Paul, yes I work (almost!) exclusively in oils - the reds are W & N Permanant Magenta, which is set from the tube onto a peice of paper to get the excess oil out, and highlights done by mixing it with W & N flesh.

Peter, this is Andrea's 90mm Polish Lancer trooper S8-F38. Obviously, he's converted into a trumpeter of the same regiment. My research told me that all he really needed was a different right arm, which Roy aided me with considerably. Ok he did it...I thouroughly enjoyed the research aspect of converting this figure and well recommend doing this.

Gary you're right. This guy shouldn't get run over wearing this... :lol:

Guy, some other pictures for you mate. I did have another but the focus wasn't great.

Anthony,
great figure... and great work!
When I look at him, I start to dream about similar conversion... but in 54 mm scale.
The magenta color are beautiful!

Anthony,
ireally like the magentas on this fellow. I alsoe like the chice of the white horse, I think it sets him off nicely. The details are crazy on this guy, nice work!
