Hi Guys,

Also working on this Austrian Jaeger, 1866. The result of a recent post, many thanks to Roger (billyturnip) for the references. Still work to do, flap on the cartouche, water canteen, cock's feather plume, collar tabs, buttons, buckles on knapsack, etc, but hopefully getting there!

Scale 1/9, all work in Milliput and Duro over a resin dolly.

Thanks for looking,

Steve

Excellent! Really happy to see this idea come to life.

Cheers Nap - mostly based on the Osprey pic, with further refs from Roger and the internet

Fantastic work so far on an interesting subject...
Phil

What no legs!! Nap WILL be happy.

Well done taking on something different. Looks very good indeed.

Another reference - with legs

Hi Steve,
Looking like it's coming together nicely, looking forward to seeing it painted, welldone!
Regards
Chris.

Hello again, chaps - some more progress pics on this one - still some details to add, buttons, buckles, etc

I have sculpted this all in one piece, but, if it were to be commercial, I would have to separate the hat/head along with the knapsack and cartouche and fill in some of the undercuts on the feathers. I would only do this if there was sufficient interest in the bust, otherwise, I will leave well alone! If anyone has a genuine interest in this as a cast, please PM me here and I will gauge support.

Thanks for looking,

Steve

Great! PM inbound.

And one to Australia.

Thanks for the comments, guys - that looks like 3 so far, then! - Oh, and one for me!

Kev said he'd like three, so that makes six. That's enough interest to make it worthwhile casting some.

Only three?! I'll swear he said a dozen..!!!
