Just finished this excellent little vignette this afternoon, in fact the musket is still drying so that I can handle it to glue it in place. After years of trying to take even passable photos, I took these pictures using my iphone and making use of the under cabinet lighting in our kitchen. (hence the tile back splash as a back drop) I was quite pleased and hope they will give you a better idea of what the figure looks like. Painted in oils over acrylic under coat.

To the untrained eye (my own), your piece is as good as, if not better than the seller's display piece. Well done.

Thanks Lissories and Carl.

Wonderful very nice painted

Wonderful!This pair from Alexandros is the "Figure of the year" for me,and for many others,I think.It will be my next project...….
There was a Union soldier,firing behind a scarecrow,many moons ago.The Company was Ravenswood,I think.What happened to these figures?Callico Jack,The flying Dutchman....etc.

Superb painting, better than the box art.

Marvellous work.
I think we are going to see a lot of these over the coming weeks.
Wish it was 90mm.

Beautifully executed, well done

Superb painting, love the waistcoat and the blue trousers. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, will definitely use yours as a painting reference. Well done.

Thank you kindly everyone. This should quite rightly be figure of the year and I hope that one day soon, there will be lots of examples on show tables everywhere.
