Currently he is basecoated on a base ,nameplate already sourced from Nameit!! , base from Pete Watson @ Pete's Bases

Here's some versions done by other modellers including the box art ...all inspirational

Looking forward to the sash !

I am sure I will have fun ! ...it's a cracking sculpt ........Wellington will be on the way soon ....strangely not too keen on the Napoleon DG did despite the medals........although .......

DG also released a RHA subject in '21

He is coming along nicely Kevin, look forward to seeing him develop.

Wellington is awaiting you on my desk as I type, his fellow Waterloo Commanders are all in the car ready for tomorrows BMSS show.

Is the portrait set in brilliants that Marshal Forward is wearing a portrait of Prince Regent George, or Wellington? From the painted portrait, it's hard to tell. It doesn't look like Frederick William, but from his hair and face-what can be seen in a portrait of a portrait-it looks more like George that Wellington.
It will be a tricky detail to paint, in any case. I look forward to seeing more progress on this one, Kev!

Prost!

Quite a coincidence!

Patiently getting oiled up is this Marshall Vorwärts on my desk.



Together with Mister Wellesley, these are two very good sculptures by David Grieve. For the Corsican there is no place in my collection.

Happy painting Kev!

Great minds think alike .......looking good ....do share the painting on PF especially the tiny portrait

Any refs you have of it appreciated ...wonder where the original is can't find pics !

Happy benchtime

[akaryu]

The tiny portrait will be something of a challenge, if I can find decent pics of it.

Wellington lost his way in my grey army.

Happy painting

Sorry Brad for delay it's a miniature portrait of the Prince Regent, set with diamonds, which was conferred on him in the Grand Hall at Carlton House on 7 June 1814.

...this is not the actual miniature

...from the National Trust collection

The bust of Nelson has plenty of sharp medals for you to paint Kevin
