Preview; American Continental Infantry Bust

[carl reid]

Hi Guys,

Here is a piece I have just completed for Ellie Miniatures.
Ian asked me to post the preview images prior to the launch at Euro Militaire.
I still have a little cleaning to, but he's done other than that.

As you can see it depicts a Private from the American Continental Infantry 1770's.

I'm sure Ian will post all the relative information prior to the official launch.

Hope you like him, and as always thanks for looking.

Another of those dreaded preview posts by Carl. Another superb must have bust.
That Euro list just gets longer & longer. It's probably as well I can't attend, it allows me the virtual train/hotel budgets to spend on new releases.

Superb mate, and definitely one that I would consider buying. I like that Zouave you did for Ian as well. Looking forward to Euro, not long now!

You could always hitch-hike down Jeff and commandeer a beach hut for a couple of nights. It's off season so probably no-one would notice!

Excellent sculpture Carl!
As always!
For those, like me, can not go to Euromiltaire ...
When can I buy it?
I am very interested in this historical period.

Cheers buddy, glad you like him!

I have no idea Mauro.
But I'm sure Ian will post all the relative information at some point.
But my guess is after Euro if he has any stock left over. If not he may need to restock before the mail order is sent.

But if you contact Ian (Ellie) direct he should be able to inform you better.

If you dress as a Nazi Geoff, you might be able to secrete yourself in one of the tents on the Lease mate.... lol

That's not fair Carl! Won't you ever give us some time to paint other sculptors stuff?

And Carl is only half-joking when he says that!

There's some folk who'd say that'd be in character.
