Revolutionary French Infantryman 1793. First Legion 75mm

[Viking Bob]

I first painted this one back in 2017, I was not happy with it and with the pandemic on going at this time, I thought I would repaint him. It seems there is a shortage of Dettol, because of Covid19 but I did source some.
All painted in acrylics and posed on a piece of Spanish olive wood.

well done Bob. Nice figure

Well done Bob. It take guts to strip and repaint a figure. It paid off beautifully mate. Love the red stripes on the waist coat.

Ben,
Thank you very much, just waiting for the next one.

Tony,
I don't know about guts, sheer stupidity more like. When its sat in the Dettol bath and your looking at the paint dissolve, your then wondering wether you did the right thing. I am so glad I did as this paint work is 10 times better.
I really appreciate your comment Tony, thanks again
Best regards
