Completed French Carabineer Officer 1804-1810

Here is my latest work.
I finished this beautiful MM 54mm figure. Very nice casting and a real pleasure to paint.
I used acrylics and oils over acrylics.
Thanks a lot for watching and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Zeno

Looks Great All Around!

Indeed, I echo the comments of Pedro and Keith. . . just a
lovely presentation, with very nice photographs. One thing
I keep thinking of, regarding an equestrian figure such as this,
is that the artist has to actually put together and paint two
figures. The rider and the horse!! So it is double the work,
at least as I see it. . . . yeh well. Your work here is very, very
good. I also like the terrain, altho I might have grouped
some of the grasses closer together as in a group, rather
than standing alone. Not a major point, . . . you have
done a very beautiful job. Congratulations . . .

Nice one done in record time Zeno. Your work is getting better and better. Love the base and the poise of the figure too. Also I prefer this uniform to the gaudy post-1809 version. What's next?

Thank you so much for your kind words!
I'll keep in mind for the future the grouping of the grasses. This is a very good point!

Thank you Colin! Glad that you like it!
This year I worked romans and napoleonic figs., maybe is time for a medieval subject. I didn't decided yet!

what's not to like?, top notch Zeno.
Do you have a special place to display your figs or you keep'em in a bookshelf ?, cause a figure like that it is worth having encase for display!

 

[tiberius57]

Bookshelf, unfortunately! Collecting dust, as well as all the other figs. that I did. I'm dusting them periodically but still, in time, especially the groundwork, is collecting dust. I didn't found a reasonable solution to protect them but still to be in display. I think that the solution is a curio cabinet. We looked at few, but what I liked was expensive. Maybe a sale will solve the problem.
Do you know another method to protect them?
Cheers mate,

it's sad but i am in the same situtation as you are , mine are collecting dust too.
I don't know if a curio is even a posibility , small house .
maybe a small curio could be the solution,but i haven look at any for the moment.
cheers
