Sergeant of Husar de la Princesa 1884 Spain

[Briggsy]

This is a Heroes and Villains figure, cast in resin and consisting of only two pieces, plus some lead foil for the sword slings and knot. Though I used wine bottle top foil and a couple of Historex buckles from the spares box. He is sold as a 54mm figure but measures in at nearly 65mm from head to foot. Painted entirely in oils and using metallic paint for the gold lace and the sword.

Hope he meets your approval.

I like that one, great pose and nice details. You have done a top job on him.

Cheers Rob, quite pleased though looking at the pictures some of the white could be more subtle in the transitions, but it's done, off to gather dust now.

Steve, Oda, Mobo and Kev, thank you for your kind comments gentlemen. I was determined to restrict myself to the British and Commonwealth subjects but when the muse calls all I can do is follow.

Cheers Simon

Thank you Malc, weddings and the mundane aspects of life I have plenty of time on my hands and since I can't do all the physical stuff I used to I find this is the best way to relax.

Cheers Simon
