Any comment good or bad is welcome.

Surely this is a standard bearer of the Grenadiers of the Guard (I know the First Foot Guards did not become the Grenadier Guards until some time after Waterloo.....!).

Beautifully painted and presented.

Excellent work Marc, you did a fine job on a very demanding figure and as Ian said the flag is perfect !
75mm figures are not for my eyes anymore so i know the time you spent with all those details!
Congratulations!!!

A very demanding figure this one. No wonder we don't see many!
Have you considered shading the lettering to make them more stitched on? Much easier said than done I know.......

Yes I did, But it became a mess and had to do the flag all over again. The lettering is not sharp edged but round. So the thin paint flows over the lettering.
Any good tip to do this and make the lettering sharper is welcome.
