Hi all this is a new bust for Gordon Mitchel and as you can see it depicts an Officer of 17th Lancers Crimea. Couple of things to do and wants cleaning up etc.

Beautiful piece, Moz!

Cheers,

Terrific piece Moz.

Very nice but right arm?...Sorry, maybe the pics.

Good to see

Imagine this as a 200mm mounted figure!

Mike

One for me...
And another one if there's a mounted version someday

Would be an absolute must if mounted, however I would imagine it would be done in 120mm, ..... I'd still have to have it.

Cracking piece. The arm thing is to do with the angle of the camera and shadow cast under the arm. If you look at the second photo from the back it looks full as it should be.

Tommi

Amazing sculpt.

The bust is based on this painting of Lord tredegar during the charge, I dont get the arm thing, I can easily adopt that position .

Nice bust, but I don't know the details on the front of the jacket are right...only two lines of buttons...

He's wearing the stable jacket - probably more suitable for Aliwal than the Crimea, but officers were a law unto themselves.

Mike

its a stable jacket this one was worn in the charge by Lietenant sir william Gordon. its got sabre cuts all over it. Its in the National army museum collection and was a well known and popular form of dress for officers.

Im not sure you will get any better proof than one that was actually worn in the charge

Nice work Moz!

John

Really nice work on this Moz.

Few alterations with the Arm and more work on the cap, have changed the studs on the jacket which in reality were much smaller and a lot more of them. Thanks for the input.

Superb work mate
