Completed Marcellin de Marbot, 1808 (Metal Modeles, 54mm)

[Edward]

Hi, here's my latest figure. Metal Modeles' new ADC figure painted as Marcellin de Marbot as ADC to Marshal Lannes in Spain, 1808.

I got the idea from an article in Military Modelling magazine by Geoff Barnes about Marbot's memoirs.

I used acrylics. The door is by Nemrod and the plants are photo-etched from Eduard.

Hope you like it!

You have done a great job with this figure really fine brush work and composition .
I have a horde of old Military Modelling magazine which i keep for both reference and inspiration.

Super painting there. Any mis-steps with the brush with these figures and you're finished - it's all gotta be 100% spot on, which it clearly is. A top job, mate.

 

[John Bowery]
