Victor Barre, Empress Dragoons.

[Cannonball]

Recently completed this relatively new figure from Mike Blank representing Victor Barre, the kettledrummer of the Empress Dragoons. This is the first offering in a new line of figures from Mike and it’s a beautiful piece. The pose is very simple yet effective and I like the facial expression Mike has sculpted in Victor’s face. Looking forward to the next release in this range. Painted in oils over acrylic.

Thanks for looking,

Neal

Very nicely painted Neal, the black base and white nameplate work well also.

Thanks Nap. I played around a bit with the edit facility on the photos off my phone so looking at the pictures again, the blue does look a bit rich in some of the pics so I might have overdone it a bit.
