Picked this up at Ingolstadt for a real keen price.
This has got to be the best metal casting in this scale I have seen since the days of Ray lamb stuff .
B Leibovitz has reached a pinnacle with this one , detail is superb .

Really looking forward to this one; its a 5th hussar but I might change the uniform colour .

Thats a nice looking figure, you will put your stamp on him.
Looking forward to this.

Its so good Bob its a shame to put paint on him might buy a second one and just antique it up using an old technique Julian Bennasi showed me in the last century

Hi Ron,

I too have this beauty in my grey army. It is an excellent figure.

I can hardly wait to see you work your magic on him. If possible please do a step by step as you progress through with this one. I know it is a lot of work to photograph and preparing posts for the SBS but it will be a big help and inspiration for me

Cheers

So much for not touching anything until September

I've pulled up my sandbag Ron, this should be good

The boy cant help it

I will need to stare at for a while Billy

Couple of weeks before I make a start Franco

Bruno is maybe the best for this figures.
I painted a trumpeter of the hussars and it whas also a very stunning sharp casted figure.
In my humble opinion you gonna get the best out if it Ron.
Looking forward to the pictures of the finished figure.

Marc

I look forward to it Ron. Nice looking base as well....

Cheers

This is a classic Ron.

That figure was inspired but a mannequin in the Emperi Museum:



By the way, note how dark is the "light blue" uniform.

And I agree, it's an excellent figure. If only Mr Leibovitz released more 90mm...

For 35 euros it was a damn site more than a classic Brian off course who do you think sniffed it out starter for ten first initial is D

That was a bloody good bargin

Say no more,i know who it was.

Someone said on Saturday "I must work in the garden now" - I hope it pours down so we can see this one progress instead.

Cheers

What do you think of the picture with the blue

That is a bloody good figure indeed and the casting quality is on par with PM's. Something not that often seen today.

Good catch!

Paul

Good query about the blue. The MM 54mm standing hussar officer with pipe has a lighter shade of blue. This is also 5th regiment but the museum uniform is a darker blue but is this due to shading or lighting? I think the shade on the cheapskate might be the one which I'd use.

Cheers
