Dear Planeteers,

I am currently working on another classic bust: "Le Tambour de la Marseillaise" by CASTLE Miniatures. It's a lovely bust and many artists added a drum or a flag to it. Although this looks quite amazing, I decided to keep the bust as it is. So far, I am very happy with the way my Revolutionary turned out.
Cheers Sven

I agree, it is quite a powerful bust itself without any additions. Great painting job.

Excellent start, following.

Lovely job on this one. . Finally got my hands on one as well.....Mike

Great work Sven.
The face is incredible.
I have always wanted to add to see one of these with drum sticks in the drum sling.
Best wishes
Keith

Wonderful work Sven!

Cheers,
Ken

Great looking work!

Sergei, Bob, Steve, ,Scott, Mike and Keith,

thanks you very much for your comments.

I had issues with the eyes, too. My problem, however, was not the left, not the right eye. I cannot blame any casting flaws, I just missed the right size and angle a few times. The eyes are always the hardest part because it is true what the wise men say: You can see the soul in the eyes.

Funny enough, I have also thought about adding drum sticks. It shouldn't be too difficult to add some since I already have drilled out the pockets.

My biggest question so far is how to paint the trim of his jacket? Red, silver, white or even gold?
Cheers
Sven

Lovely start Sven.
