    Excellent work Carl.

    The trouble with busts, superb though they may be, is that colourful breeches, boots, sabretaches and sabres get omitted.

    Brilliant sculpting Carl.
    I am not sure quite what it is but there is something in your last few faces that really draws your eyes to the piece.
    Great figure Mate

    Here is a link to his Waterloo uniform that I believe was worn with the shako (I think Carl has chosen a different portrayal but correct me if I am wrong). http://lswift89.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/by-god-sir-ive-lost-my-leg/

    You can see the colour in a first legion release review on the home page.

    Carl....when you sculpt the legs don't do them separately. If you do and someone loses one, they will have to say '"by God, I've lost my leg!" :)

    Oh dear. I've got to get this one, but I will wait for the legs. Carl has out done himself. A Wellington and Picton must follow (also as full figures if they do).

    That is truly beautiful workmanship.
    Seeing the reference pics really highlight how difficult it must be to replicate.
    Is the hat black or brown? Not sure if the pictures are making it brown.
    Apologies to all the Napoleonic guys for being so ignorant.
    Cheers,

    How about offering legs, sword and sabretache as an optional extra?!

    Why do you insist on sculpting only exceptional pieces? A clunker now and then would prove that you're human. :woot:

    We could do with a decent Wellington. The last reasonable one came from Ceremonial Studios many years ago. David Grieve did an excellent bust, which I suppose could be 'completed' (over to you Graham). I seem to remember reading that Wellington had an abhorrence of gloves, and also of his officers using umbrellas in the rain when on campaign!

    Happy modelling,

    Mike

    Cheers Steven!

    I'm sure there is plenty out there that would say every piece I do is clunker, with the occasional decent piece thrown in buddy... lol

    Like I say Mike, nothing is planned as yet!
    I'm sure MMM will want to test the market with this piece before they invest any further funds into this particular theme.
