Completed Troop54, Officer,1/23rd R W F, Albuhera 1811

[Viking Bob]

Just finished this one from Troop54, excellent casting and some tiny details on this one. All I have added are some paper cartridges, fallen from the cartridge box and a canon ball behind the officer.
Painted in oil and acrylics.
Thank you for looking.

That is really nicely painted Bob.
I really like the stance, drawn sword and barehead of this piece, it really tells a story.

Thank you all for the comments, glad you like him.

Keith, to get the oils flat, I use a little turps, lay on the paint sparingly and then brush out with a clean brush. Blue is the hardest to flatten, so I have just used acrylic.
hope that helps

Roger, this is the pic that the figure is taken from.

Viking Bob!
That's a great bit of work-both figure and setting. You have shot yourself in the foot however.
From now on we will expect nothing less.
All the best.

Smashing job on a beautifully posed figure. The 'flatness' of the paint adds a nice touch to the subtle weathered look.
Great result on the groundwork plenty of interest without being overdone and distracting
Cheers
