This looks good

[Ron Tamburrini]

From facebook , no Idea who is making this

Ron this looks a cracker.
I'm wondering if it's a slight conversion of one of the main manufacturers pieces.
Reason I'm thinking this is it looks as there has been a 'sash' added, different colour than the surrounding resin.
Also looks like the top of the bicorne has been reworked.

Don't you think Boney has been done to death?

No Del, I don't think so

If he's a planet figure model maker,
Surely those two are the original bits and the rest is added in darker newer putty?

Agree Totally

Agree Totally

I await your original and ground breaking master-work with great anticipation

Am I not allowed to agree with a previous comment Steve?...not like you to be so cynical?

There are many unexplored areas if you sit down and think about it and often alluded to by other Planeteers-the 17th and 18th centuries are rich in colourful uniforms and only just being touched by the manufacturers. I suppose it depends what turns you on, personally I like to see as many colour variations in the cabinet as possible.

PS Steve, you have actually seen quite a lot of my work.

I just grow tired of people whining about this continually without offering an alternative, there are literally 100s of figures I'd like to see, but they wouldn't sell more than a couple of pieces

I think that's the problem - I know from experience that producing what is regarded as a "fringe" subject does not sell well, or has very limited appeal. Its a nice idea to create something unique, it is where my interest largely lies, but if the initial outlay is not at least recouped, then the manufacturer inevitably makes a loss or has surplus stock! The well-trodden path of subjects always seem to sell well and therefore manufacturers will always err on the side of caution, thus limiting the access to more niche subjects.

Just my two penn'th!

Even metal Models sticks to the well trodden path and tends to stay with the most popular regiments , it would be interesting to know what the average sales are per model

Think it's Lorenzo Nino Lorenzino (LNL) sculpting that for Young Miniatures. Seen it shared around.

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Well if its for Young miniatures this will be special and a must buy

Just bought my first bust from them. Same sculptor too. Can certainly understand why you say it's a "must buy". Very impressed.

Who is it????

 

[OldTaff]

I think he's that Corsican/French chap with Italian parents, who invented the saying "If you can't fight, wear a big hat". Which is why his hat was smaller than almost everybody else's -- whilst they lost a great deal of peripheral vision, he could see round corners, and so knocked them all into a cocked hat . Eventually, all the snooty boys of Europe ganged up on him, took away all his toys, and sent him to a little island far,far away . But they kept a lot of his laws and institutions, funnily enough, because a lot of the 'common' folk had got used to them, thinking they were a pretty good set of ideals for men to live by. Oh, his name was Napoleon Bonaparte (Or Naboleone Buonarparte, if you're Corsican).

Thanks for the history lesson Alan. The only other option to get a different period or type of figure I guess would be to sculpt your own then?
