Model Code: RB47
Sculpted by: Richard Bailey
Material: Resin

As I do not have a good English as well as the "Master" of review: NAP, you will just see a "open box"
As I already wrote, the bust can be the basis to realize any infantry drummer of the Napoleonic army.
Even a infantry Guard drummer (Young Guard)!
I already posted the references of the relevant documentation, but a reminder is always good!

Great looking bust, very nice details.
The swiss regiments had the best uniforms in my humble opinion

Nice one Luc.Thanks for sharing, it's good to see such great close-up photos.
This is a real nice kit.

I have to say I will have to add the rest of the legs to mine and remove the whiskers.

I think he would look better as a younger man.......
I mean Nap, the drummer itself is fine.
