Verlinden 200mm Croatian Hussar Bust

[Guest]

Jim - Thanks, it will of course be facing backwards, which is perhaps a bonus.

John - Very kind of you. Verlinden have managed to put a lot of character into the sculpt, which always makes things easier.

Hi Peter
Late on parade and lingering at the back with the naughty rabble members.Ive never seen this particular bust mate.Missed a lot of the Verlinden ones.Really is an eyecatcher though and different which is pleasing on the eyes colourwise.I feel for you with the feet,Mine play me up with pain and itching and numb toes.I got my Retinopathy eyetest next week my first.The old sights not been great and sculptings no go for now.
Hope you feel better soon mate.
Look after yourself.
Rich.

Hi Richard. Glad you like this chap. It's getting hard to find these Verlinden busts now - Historex are selling the last of their stocks off at £18.85 and there aren't many left.

Sorry that the eyes are playing you up - hopefully the tests will not reveal too much damage. My eyes are pretty bad focus wise now, and I find myself working without glasses and in extreme close up most of the time. I can only really get a proper look at my work through reading glasses - bit of a weird situation..

Hi Peter
Up there with my favourites of yours. The shield makes interest from all viewpoints rather like the equipment on a modern soldier.

Peter
I have to agree with Jim, one of my favourites.

Many thanks Jim and Scottie. A fun one to do.

Hi Peter - I'm another that's never seen this particular bust before

Bit of an odd looking uniform but nicely painted as usual

[Guest]

Cheers Simon

Freaky looking get-up indeed. I would imagine this was more private attire than uniform - they tried to out-do eachother in flamboyance, a bit like the Landsknechts.

Morning Peter

A wonderful figure, great colour combinations too.

Good choice to step away from the box art, yours looks much better.

What could possibly be next?

Have a great weekend with the family
