Hi Peter,
Looking forward to how you get on with these

Steve - No problem. You can see that the Life Miniatures bust is a special sculpt.

Jim - Think I'll attack Boney next - Wellington is plastered in tricky decorations.

A nice pair of generals. The will look good mounted together.

Astoundingly excellent painting as we’ve come to expect sir:smiling4:

Peter - Cheers. Not sure whether to try a 'themed' mount.

Si - Very kind of you. Many thanks.

Hi Steve - Back home and recovered!

The awards were pretty tricky to do and the cameo does indeed look like a blob. The black uniform was highlighted with Vallejo Luftwaffe Uniform - black clothing is never truly black under daylight conditions but rather tends to reflect the surroundings.

Beautifully done Peter...I can just make out a well fed Wellington:smiling6:...just pulling your leg there...it's a miracle he got painted in. :thumb2: So I read you're going for his bust and Bonapartes too? Look forwards to them being painted.

Cheers,
Richard

Peter the latest bust is an absolute stunner. They make a great pair together so now looking forward to seeing these next two.

Richard - Wellington does look a bit porky, doesn't he? I found him much harder to paint than I thought I would, but hopefully it just about reads as a miniature portrait.

Mick - Thank you. After working on 1/35 subjects for a couple of weeks, getting back to this larger scale will seem like a holiday.
