Its the movement that your able to capture with the alterations Neil that's so good.
Talk about late to the Party..........Hi Neil. just had a read through and ketchup on this extraordinary little scene. Your "eye" for all the little details that go into this fantastic, "action" packed skirmish is mind boggling! I have no doubt this is going to be a "Winner" when you get to the end Sir. I shall sit tight and watch the rest of the drama unfold. :thumb2:
cheers Tim
I had an unexpected bonus from work so I've actually bitten the bullet and bought a punch set...OMG!
Thank you Jim, but doesn't every aspect of our hobby take time and patience? I think it's just that my subject matter is just a bit more left field for this forum
You're no less welcome for being a year late, Rick:tears-of-joy:
Glad to hear you are enjoying it
Thanks Bill. I'm delighted to think that someone can learn from it
Very kind, Steve, thanks.
you'll always have this picture ,Tony
Thanks John, that's the part that has always fascinated me, especially the twisted poses (called 'contraposto' in proper sculpture)
Top notch work indeed!!

thanks alot Andrew
I am pleased to announce that paint has been flung!
Actually most of Fusilier 4 was already painted, I just needed to knuckle down and finish him, and I have finally done it, yay!
Hope you like him.
That's all for now, but hopefully now that I am back in the swing of painting I can get Fusiliers 5 and 6 done soon.
thanks for watching

Excellent Neil. The animation is spot on. He looks like he’s falling even though he isn’t.
But Tim, if he isn't falling (backwards), what is he doing then? You lost me here Buddy.....
Sorry Neil, as I just came across this excellent work once again. You do have that magic touch with figure poses and honestly, your painting skills ain't too shabby either. Good to see you haven't lost your touch. Beautiful work Sir, just beautiful!!!......
Prost

If he was actually falling, he’d very quickly hit the ground Allen…….he is a static figure sculpted as falling, and the sculpt is so good he looks like he is actually moving…..at least I think that what I meant.
Of course, this might be me hallucinating hopped up on pain meds and anti inflammatory pills…..
Beautifully painted Neil.
Excellent work Neil. The uniform colours look spot-on. If I may be pedantic, the metal work on the musket looks "blued", at this period in history it would have been left in the "white". I am not in any way criticising your work, just me being an a-hole after 60 odd years collecting and shooting vintage and classic firearms.
