Sgt Masterson "I have the Cuckoo" with legs!

[Jimbo]

After a few months of not contributing to PF, I decided it was time to get my backside into gear and get this figure finished,

Sgt Patrick Masterson of the 87th Irish Fusiliers " I have the Cuckoo" battle of Barrosa, Spain 1811, he had the honour of capturing the very first French Eagle by a British/Irish soldier and on doing so it is said that he shouted "By Jeezas boys!..I have the Cuckoo!"

The top half sculpted of course by Carl Reid and the bottom half from waist down sculpted by me,
Painted with oils over matt enamels.

Cheers to all & stay safe,
Jim

Well Jim you've done it again and turned an already well sculpted bust into an excellent full figure and it all looks spot on, great work.
