Completed Critique SAXON GARDE-REITER OFFICER

[Ben-nl]

Hello,

I show you my next bust. It is very nice sculpted bust by Carl Reid and produced by Michael Miniatures. It is a Saxon Garde-reiter officer, 1821-1827 Rittmeister 2nd Regiment.

To take a good picture with all the whites is not easy. I hope you like it. There are more shadows painted as shown on the photo...

Nap, it is a mix of a little bit patience, more patience and much patience...
It is a mix of dark tan, black and white...
