Sampling the sights in Paris!

[akaryu]

Hello Planeteers!
My second work for this year, Mike Good's sculpt of a Don Cossack in Paris 1814, 120mm figure produced by Steve Kirtley's SK Miniatures and painted in oils as usual.
Being a straight up and down figure, I posed him as a happy cossack sightseeing in Paris after clobbering the armies of the Corsican upstart, some spoils of Napoleonic grandeur referring to the fleeting allegiance of the Parisians!



Thanks for looking,
Pierre

Lovely job Pierre, especially that blue. I have looked at this figure a few times and seeing a painted version has convinced me it is worth investing in.

Thank you, Nap!

Not based on a picture but very vaguely inspired by the drawings of Opitz on the Russian visit to Paris at that time. Upon opening the kit, I was at a loss what to do with a straightforward, simple almost monochrome 120mm figure.
So I decided to make it into a small presentation to show the admirers of the Corsican which side I'm on!

cheers,
Pierre

These Cossacks were certainly one for the delights of Paris
