Dutch Grenadier, 1806 Airfix 1/12

[paul haring]

This is an old Airfix figure. Had this in my stash for a loooong time. But now he's finished.
It;s the 1/12 th scale figure of the old guard. I transferred it into a Dutch soldier of the Kingdom of Holland.
I did a lot of extra detailing: the bearskin cap, the moustache, the rifle etc.
Painting is done in oils ( Mostly W&N, Rembrandt) and acrylics.
It's a huge figure, compared with 1/72








In the 19th century they allready knew about the 1,5 meter distance

Very fine work on this figures face; I'd recognise him if I passed him on the street.

[Bessiere]

Excellent figure! Superbly detailed. I too would recognize that face anywhere. Fine piece.

Can we see some bigger pictures somewhere, Paul! The figure is to small to see all the details!

Excellent work!

About the distance rule, it helps when you have a gun like that!
