Being quite happy with the way my flat painting is progressing I thought I'd see if the practice has helped with painting round figures.

What inspired me to paint this figure by Michael Roberts Ltd was the photo of the model in Bill Horan's Military Modelling Masterclass book and doing some reading on British colonial campaigns in the Victorian era.

And yes, I know I've left off the sword knot, I've only just noticed

Roger.

Roger,

Excellent painting mate. In 2 or 3 dimensions, your painting is inspiring. Your figure will be my inspiration when it comes to painting my version of this kit.

Cheers Tony, Here's a couple more shots that include the sword knot.... now I've stuck it on

It's a great kit, the only thing I found a bit fiddly was the sabre & sabretache slings but I always have done.

Roger.

Your past your examen Roger.
If i see it correctly you can go further into the hobby with round figures

Marc

Thanks Mark. My main interest will remain flat figures but a round one every now and again is likely.

Roger.

Very nice, Roger!

All the best,
Dan

Cheers Dan, you see the draw of khaki is just too great

Roger.

Thanks Carl, I won't be leaving the flats but a change is as good as a rest
Roger.

Hi Roger

I think you have learned many things from your flat painting for your round painting (what a sentence )

Nice figure and then from 30mm flat to 120mm round. Not bad

Ulrich

Hello Ulrich. Thanks, let's hope I can still paint busts... Viktoria-Luise is also waiting.

Roger.

Roger,
Looks real fine to me.
Cheers
John

Hi Roger,
the figure is excellent,very good painting but it is not from Michael Roberts...This is a 120mm Roll Call peice sculpted by Maurice Corry RC-03 Officer 10th Hussars Sudan 1884.
A beautiful peice of sculpting.
Regards
Pete

Hello Pete, thank you for the kind comments.

Just to clarify, the figure is as you say sculpted by Maurice Corry originally for Roll Call but now produced by Michael Roberts Ltd.

I got mine from El Greco.

Roger.

Nice piece !!!!! And is not a flat !!!!!

Costas

Thank you Costas.

I have a feeling the next one might be flat but there are plans for further "rounds".

Roger
