retreat from Moscow 1812

[megroot]

Finished this figure a few days back but hadn't the time to take pictures of it.
It's a 90 mm figure from Andrea and I made some modifications .
I sculpt a bag for the crusifix he make his own on his journey back home, and made a blanket he find for the cold snowhazzard that is blowing.
I hope I succeed in my vision with this figure.



Any comment is welcome to improve my painting.

Hello Marc,
you caught the spirit of retreat that this soldier has, it is indeed the heavy winter and the exhaustion but for
a soldier of Napoleon retreat was the worse enemy and you manage to depict it in an excellent way.
Also the modifications you made fit so perfectly that if you didnt mention it i thought it was made
with all these because i know only verlinden's 120mm "retreat from Moscow" and i didnt have in
mind this figure. Excellent work !

A nice rendition of this popular figure Marc. I've got this one myself and it is Mrs Jazz's favourite. Great work on yours.
