Like Mat above, I've recently had the pleasure of seeing this great piece in the flesh. Excellent sculpting complimented by excellent painting. IMO better than the actual original painting, but that's just me. Hope you do well with this at Euro Paul. Good luck mate.
John.

That is a superbly finished half-figure. Everything about it looks absolutely spot-on.
Very well done.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi mick,I had a great result on the Guard Project,I got a Bronze medal for that and a Highly Commended for my WW1 trench raiders,very happy

As Andrea posted, I had just entered it in the comps, and spotted brian's bustoramas, and was chatting with mick.
John euro is a situation unique in that putting your models on show amongst these top european modellers is a humbling thing.
To get any award is such a bonus mate in such company.
I got a commended for a 32mm little lady called tinkerbelle.
This bust was unplaced, but I so enjoyed painting it.

Likewise mate, good to start the day over a fry up that would choke the average dinosaur.
I was so impressed with the group effect of your french lollypops and the award for both sets of busts.

You can take a deserved rest from napoleonics for a while eh?,
Hang on...... You've bought more incha. I admit I have !
Vive les soldats de france.

Gordon I loved it, and as someone said today, nice to see a bust mounted on a plank.
Missed you not being there for the banter mate.
