    Here is my mostly completed bust of Marshal Bessieres, Duke of Istria and Commander in Chief of the Guard Cavalry, killed by a cannon shot to the chest at Weissenfels near Luetzen in 1813.

    Sculpey firm, about 1/5 scale. Plaited twine for the aiguilette. Face is acrylic and the rest is oil.

    I may add some water marking to his Legion of Honour sash and he still needs a base.

    Thanks to Ivo for keeping me honest on his buttons and awards :)

    No London???? That's NFG... I was hoping to get a glimpse of your army of busts, sooner rather than later :(
    I'm definitely going to Chicago, just need tto figure out the details... Send me a message, let me know what you've figured out.

    MATE!! Again!? How do you keep turning them out so fast! Im not saying that I'll share any pics but one of these days Im going to attempt to emulate one of your Napoleonic busts. I picked up a dvd copy of the duelists as you mentioned it in a post from another project. Roll on days off so I can watch it. Anyway, Im a big fan of your work. Keep it up mate,love it.

    I like how every project you undertake is educational for us too. Thanks for sharing with us this excellent new sculpt, and equally excellent brush work (y)!

    I agree with Joe, I always enjoy finding out about the personalities you sculpt too.
    Another very impressive bust, Colin. (y)
