    Fine looking busts.
    I am always pleased to see Duchy of Warsaw and Saxon uniforms. Particular like the metal work on the Saxon from von Zastrov's regiment of cuirassiers helmet and breastplate. Maybe he is a veteran of the charge at Borodino.
    Thanks for posting.

    Hi Misfit, hope you enjoyed your day in the garden and your Foster's lager... Strange its only the Pom's in the UK that drink it.. Its not sold in pubs over here any more... Maybe the Aussies got tired of all the Paul HOGAN ads.... Personally I enjoy a John Smiths when I can get it... Which sadly is not often over here... I don't mind a pint or two of Mansfield Bitter either on my trips back home... But with these strange times.. it seems that wont be happening any time soon...
    Keep the updates coming..

    Thank you Mike, I'll give that a try on the figure I'm starting. I've never been happy with my painting of five o'clock shadow, and I've only used oils sparingly.

    whats the actual size of the bust(s), website says 230mm scale, which surely cant mean they are 23cm tall ? :ROFLMAO: so in old money are they 1/10th, 1/9th :unsure:

    Hi Steve

    These are big pieces and impressive , think they are closer to 1/6th and as you see paint up well

    You certainly get a lot for the hard earned coin

    Sure Mike will be able to confirm

    Hi Steve yes these are large figures and as Nap says closer to 1/6th ....they are a great range of figures sculpted by Richard Bailey and the sculpt is first class..... Enjoy Telford.....all the best Mike

    Beautiful work, Mike. I love the yellow and pale blue tones on the collar area and the facial work, splendid!
