    This was a metal models ref: OFBN officer battlion Neuchatel 1808.
    I have painted him as an officer of the 3rd Swiss Regiment 1808, I have added a sword knot to the hilt of the sword and the rest is as seen.
    I know the shako is wrong but until I can replace his head this will suffice in the short run.
    All painted in acrylics
    This is my last for 2017, Merry Christmas to you all.
    Regards

    Very, very nice Bob! I like the painting and of course the added groundwork, including the fence which adds interest.

    Well done,
