    Hi Guys,

    Sorry for posting twice, I forgot to add the image..... Lol

    Here is the Preview of the latest piece for Frank (Frank Miniatures). He asked me to post him prior to launch!

    As you can see it depicts a private from the Washington Grenadiers, otherwise known as the 26th Continental Infantry.

    He still has a small amount of cleaning to do, but he is done other than that.

    I'm not sure of the launch date as yet, but I am sure Frank will let you know all the relative details when he is ready to release the piece!

    I hope you like him!

    As always thanks for looking!

    Hello Carl, This bust has a nice flow of movement and action. The face is incredible, one of your best. All the uniform, and equipment details are excellent, as always. Super work Carl. Regards, SG:)(y)(y)

    Carl if this were a full figure I'd be all over it like a rash. It's a favourite period of mine and it's a fantastic sculpt, right up there alongside your heavy dragoon.

    Have to confess I'm not so much into half figures (they're not really "busts" are they), but just occasionally I make an exception and this one is definitely winking at me.

    Another superb piece from a master sculptor. I agree with Babelfish about the (lack of) legs.

    That's a real beauty and regarding the lack of legs issue that rears it's head every time a new release of a bust is announced I think I might start announcing they're not flat enough either. :whistle:

    With such a super release I am sure Frank will have a very busy stand at Euro.
    I for one will be there!
    Lovely job Carl, another cracker.

    Just another beautiful piece of work! The animation and expressions give such a feeling of movement even though its a bust.
    Don't know how you can sculpt without a computer though.:sneaky:o_O

    You're not getting away with that one Roger, if anything it's not 1879 enough. Get your mallet out:whistle:, in fact I'll lend you one:D.

    Hi Carl,
    A beautiful depiction, very dynamic and powerful with a great sense of movement, you can almost here the growl coming out of that face full of character. Top draw stuff mate. I might just have a look at one of these in the flesh to see if there is a possible conversion in it for me.(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)
    cheers
