Hello,

I want to show my next finished bust. This one is a big one (25 cm base to tip of plume).
It is a French 9th Hussar trumpeter bearing a 7th line infantry drummerboy.
Sculpted by Richard Bailey and produced by Bonapartes minatures.

Lovely work.
The transparent plinth looks like an ice floe. Nice idea there
Cheers

very crisply painted mate.

I saw the unpainted Bust back in June this year, its a huge undertaking and you have done an excellent job.
Superb painting.

Geweldig goed werk weer Ben.
Heb me altijd afgevraagd of Andrea geinspireerd was voor hun figuur of andersom.

You have done a great job Ben.
I always wondered: Whas Andrea inspired by Bonaparte's figure or whas it otherwise....

Marc

Congratulations Ben,great piece of work

Nice work Ben, looks like a complicated piece.

Thanks Gerard, yes, it was a brainwave. Difficult to give it a cold look....

Thanks all for kind comments.
yes Mike, it was a complicate work, the result is a very big and nice looking bust.

I don't know Marc, who was first. I think this one is much larger.

Good work

thanks samson

Ben

Awesome job on a tough set so tightly woven together.
