    An early photo of my current WIP - General Gudin from Alexandros Models. This 200mm bust is painted in oils and acrylics. Much still remaining on this one, including his rather prominent bicorne. 225E9ED3-F926-4AD1-82CC-24204FC9B423.jpeg

    Thanks, Bob, Steve and Nap. These Alexandros busts are terrific to paint. Very sharp details and superb casting. They provide an excellent canvas to paint upon. Highly recommended.

    Cheers,

    Continuing progress on General Gudin. Still quite a bit of work remaining on the tunic lace and buttons, and have just started on the bicorne. The latter is quite tall and impressive, and will certainly make this piece stand out when completed. A beautiful 200mm bust from Alexandros Models. C72D69A8-7C44-4A25-9755-CD577C91C22D.jpeg

    Getting close to the finish on this one. A few minor details and touch ups remaining, and this one will be completed. We’ll try to get some better photos taken and repost in a few days. 51938E36-4564-47CA-92D5-7A0DFEE3B3DF.jpeg

    Thanks, Samson and Nap! I appreciate those kind words.

    The bicorne is certainly imposing, but it’s height is clearly representative of some of the period illustrations of general officers. It’s hard to imagine wearing something like that!

    Cheers,
    Kurt
