OK Folks

This is the last of my most recent figures. It is another Moz figure, this time a 75mm of a 17th Lancer from the Charge of the Light Brigade.
Lately I've been reading the Flashman series and the illustration on the cover of "Flashman at the Charge" acted as inspiration as I worked on this fig.
Again, painted with Vallejo acrylics. The stone post he's leaning on is a resin piece donated by Greg McE and the stones beneath it are scratchmade from Apoxie Putty. The plants and flowers were nicked from a floral arrangement the wife had out on the diningroom table The 17th Lancer badge on the base was picked up at an Army Surplus Store years ago. I know it wasn't being used yet in 1854 but it's my favourite British badge and I thought it would look cool on the figure's base.
Comments and critiques are appreciated

Like it very much, the work on light is, to my opinion, just well balanced .

Miro, Marc, Alex and Andrea... Thanks for the kind comments, I had fun painting this one!

Well done Colin, very nice work !!!

Even looks like rotten old Flashy!

Great basing and nice painting.

Colin

Thank you so much Christos and Colin

The only thing missing is the big toothy grin and a half naked trollop at his feet! Do you think Moz is a "Friend of Flashy"?

We need an Elspeth figure....

Colin

YES!!! WE DO!!!

Very, very nice work Colin!
The painting is excellent and the groundwork complements the subject very well. Very good job!
Cheers,
Zeno

very nice colin...

Excellent job Colin Flashman is a fantastic subject and you have captured his essence here a treat.

Steve

And another one!!! God, you've been very occupied... Nice base you've made!!! It looks good with the figure! Very very nice

Thank you all very much for the compliments.
Having Old Flashy the rogue in my head made this really fun to paint... A workmate put me on to the Flashman Papers series in September and I've already read seven of them... giggling and chuckling the whole time. They're not for the easily offended... zero political correctness!!

Really dig this one Colin, I think it might be your best yet.

Thanx G... U are too kind. I've taken all your advice to heart over the past 2 years You've been a great help for sure

Good work Colin.
I am a bit of a stickler for getting the navy blue colour on British uniforms correct, often guys paint it with too lighter base colour, yours is spot on for me. All highlights and shadows look great.
Well done Mate.
Cheers,
Keith

Thanks Keith
It took two or three shots to finally get the tone I was looking for... Ended up with a mix of Dark Prussian Blue and Black (Vallejo acrylics)
