Hello all,

At last, my take on Generalfeldmarschall Gebhard von Blücher, one of David Grieve's masterpieces, a joy to put paint on! Painted in oils on enamel.



Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks Nap!

No Wellington for the time being, but he is in my grey army.

I intend to tackle Ray Lamb's iconic Taishō later this year, the figure that started it all. Unwrapping each and every piece from its fine blue paper feels like an act of sacrilege, even after all those years it is still awe-inspiring!

cheers,

Pierre

My Wellington is sat looking at me ....." Along with one or two others " ...lol

Taisho ...ICONIC indeed

Enjoy my friend ...whatever you paint

Nap

A classic and amazing sculpt indeed, a masterpiece from the pre-3D printing age.

We all started from scratch, so get your brushes out and paint, paint, paint!

Ray'sTaishō and Talant's Samurai archer fit the bill, but first I have some legless beauties to deal with.

Thank you all for your comments,

Pierre
