In your work I have seen, this is the best one. Balance of military uniform shadow and highlight, and weathering at feet are particularly wonderful. Congrats! !

Thank you for the kind remarks. I seem to get better with age ; )

Regards and all the best.

Soon Bob...very soon !!

Bob this looks wonderful - I like it very much. Just the right amount of dirt and weathering really add some nice character to the piece

Thank you both.
Phil, I love it and wanted to convey a tired, dirty veteran. A lot of it was down to the sculpt.

Thanks housecarl
It is a good sculpt, the only thing I added was the neckerchief and a new sling.
Enjoy.

A perfect Peninsular soldier.
Suitably bedraggled, dusty, and clutching the necessary refreshment.
Excellent work.
Look forward to getting a closer look at Bugle Call.

Cheers,
Andrew
