roger Posted 15 December , 2005 Share Posted 15 December , 2005 (edited) This my most ambitious project so far. The figure is 120mm high and made from resin. So far the figure has been assembled as far as possible to allow for painting and has been primed with grey car primer. His face and cap band have been painted next is the rest of his cap. If anyone is wondering where the cockades have gone from his cap they are behind his left ear, a practice quite common judging from period photo's Roger.

Max (UK) Posted 16 December , 2005 Share Posted 16 December , 2005 Wow - that is awesome !! Where did the figure come from? Did you make him or buy a moulded figure? I would love something like that on my desk, especially a Grenadier Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
