but thou didst not only Napoleon?

I hope to see him in that Bricherasio ...

You don't know me really. I did many other subjects except napoleonics.

This one isn't the first winged hussar in my career

my statement was related to what you claimed in a discussion a few years ago on an Italian forum on the number of pieces in its possession.

the years have passed, perhaps remembered evil

hi friend

I'm back with this project.. some of you asked me how I tackel the flag... it's a mix of mechnics and technical issue...

for my flags I use a wire rod in copper,
theree dimension :
diameter 1,5 mm external with 1 mm hole.
extenal 1 mm with a 0.5 hole
the third is a steel rod 0,4 mm diameter

why three? because to have an easy painting I need to have the flag disassembled
anhoter problem is that the final assembled figure is too tall to be transported in the normal boxes, the flag must be assembled directly at the show.
to simplify I divided the pole in two parts, the lower fixed to the arm and to the foot and the upper fixed to the flag

to guarantee stability the different dimension of the rod is useful entering one into the other. We have to remember also that the 1,5 mm rod had an hole where the pin in the hand enter.

to fix the flag position i modified the upper an lower 1.5 mm rod creating a joint

hoping to have explained in my poor english...

Not my era but techniques of course applicable to Napoleonics which are my passion. Lovely stuff, as ever, from Ivo. A real master.

hi Jeff

thanks for the kind words, this technique is the same I use for every flag. I do that to give more strenght to the object

Thanks for the information on the flagstaff construction; will be interested in how you construct and attach the flag.

another update

legs have been resculpted modifying Metal Modeles hussar as the left arm.Right arm resculpted completely around a copper pin

the flag is made mixing A&B+ Duro rolled
later will be glued around the pole described above

This is already looking spectacular, Ivo. Looking forward to the updates

I do remember your winged hussar from 30 years ago ! :wideyed:

This is a very interesting departure from your usual period but interesting to see how you are tackling it Ivo. I'll be following with interest.

Cheers
