Completed Demi-solde, 1816 (Metal Modeles, 54mm)

[Edward]

I've just finished this figure of one of Napoleon's half-pay veterans. I added the moustache, changed the hair, and added a Legion d'Honneur ribbon. It was painted in acrylics.

Here's an article on demi-soldes that has some information about them:

Thanks for looking,

A quite different and interesting subject.
Nicely adjusted and very well painted.

Ed those added touches really do give him an accurate period feel. The medal ribbon adds a nice touch, bring just a little bit of colour to what is otherwise a plain jacket. A job well done.
