Many thanks mate for your kind coments,I too have felt the same about displaying busts on their own,I like to add something to help tell the story.
I am still in the drawing phase with regards to the backdrop for my bust,it needs some careful planning before I start construction.
My advice to you would be not to get to hung up on your first project,give yourself plenty of time and plan it well,the planning you put in at this stage will pay off enormously and will be worth it in the end,I look forward to seeing your piece soon

Many thanks Chris,as always I'll give it my best shot

Oi!, Brian, give me a break, mate......I'm spending yet more time on your prog reports and SBS's, and poor old Marshal Ney's getting neglected. Right, bu*****ng off now to get some paint on his saddlecloth!
Your KGL chap ; another good'un, I'll warrant

Alan

Many thanks Kev,hope to have some updates next week,

,is that the Alexandros Ney you're doing ?

No,no, .. The first Legion one (54/60 mm), but as they included the wrong head ( don't get me started!) , I'm converting a Historex, and using a very beefed-up Historex nag, as I didn't like the Fist Legion's stance. Much frigging around, but he'll eventually look how I want him to look. Why get the FL one in the first place? 'Cos I thought it might be suitable. We live and learn.....
