I usually prefer smaller scale busts like 1/12 but am very tempted by this. Great sculpt by Carl.

Yeah it's Henry Paget 2nd Earl of Uxbridge who had his leg shattered by grapeshot and amputated, so I guess this makes it more of a 3/4 figure rather than a 1/2!

Brilliant sculpt by Carl, I really like this one, very tempting.

Hiya Jim
Played by Terrence Alexander in the film. In real life Paget never got on with Wellington as he took off with Wellingtons brothers' wife.

Very very nice indeed, Paget, you are also on my list! Could breed a range of Napolionic Commanders? Would a full figure be cheaper with just the one leg?

 

[RobertC33]

Hahaha ! Good question Baronband.

Looks like he lost more than his leg. A stunner and a must-have purchase.

Excellent figure.

Second in command of the British troops during the Battle of Waterloo was Henry Paget, Earl of Uxbridge (1768-1854) who led the cavalry. In a famous incident at the very end of the battle, Paget and Wellington were side by side on horseback watching the action. A cannon shot hit Paget in the leg. He is reported to have said, "By God, sir, I've lost my leg," to which the Duke responded, "By God, sir, so you have." Thus, the epitome of sang froid.

When the figure is sculpted to this portrait it would be a great challenge for painting.​

There is a variant of the leg loss in which Wellington said to Uxbridge "By God, sir, you've lost your leg" to which Uxbridge replied "By God, sir, so I have."
