Stormtroopers Miniatures 1/10 resin bust (sculpted by Carl Reid), depicting Sgt. Patrick Masterson of the 87th Regiment of Foot (Royal Irish Fusiliers), at the Battle of Barrosa during the Peninsular War.

Painted in oils over acrylics.

Amidst the melee was the 8th Ligne, a part of a French column that had lost almost half its number. The 8th were in heated battle with the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot. In the chaos, the French Eagle of the 8th Ligne was taken up by Ensign Edward Keogh, who was immediately shot through the heart. In the fight for the Eagle, seven French troops were killed, before Irish Sergeant Patrick Masterson scooped it up, raised it to the heavens and shouted ‘By Jaysus, Boys! I have the cuckoo!’
