    Dear All,

    CGS (Carl & Gra) has developed what in my humble opinion is one of the greatest figures ever.
    I believe that, as a balance considering movement, proportions, detail, casting... resulting into a master piece.
    Perhaps, it can be argued whether the subject has an influence at the moment of being infatuated by a figure, but technically I do believe this bust is something great.
    I will upload some pictures for those who haven't had the opportunity of getting one in their hands.

    Please, be aware that the zoom of the camera might show all the details too close and might offer a wrong impression. If you see the bearskin, cords, head... with your eyes, the details are absolutely perfect.

    I wish my English was better to explain correctly why this bust is so stunning. Perhaps, someone could help to complete a better anaylis of this piece of Art.

    Thank you, guys!

    The casting does look great, a good looking bust all round.

    Very nice detailed pics you've shown of a first class model. Got a few of the CGS kits and the castings have always been of a high standard. What I also like with them is the included foil and wire to complete the model.

    Hi Keith,I'm currently working on an Imperial gaurd,waterloo busterama with 6 busts,lots of conversions,I plan to post my progress on this shortly,however because it will take me some time to convert them all it will be a while before I start painting them,so to keep my painting mind fresh I shall complete the scots grey in between.

    "Busterama" I like the sound of that Brian, brilliant new word for the Oxford book of words.
    Six French busts WOW!!! That's five and a half more than the girls at my local gentleman's club here in France.
    Cheers Brian, looking forward to your SBS.
