Fantastic!  I was going to ask if you'd do Lannes as he is also my favourite French Marshal. What an amazing character he was. I really like the sculpt, you know I'm going to have to buy him.  :D Shame he's only usable until 1809. Now you have to make a Bessieres for him to argue with.

When will this be available?

It's hard to believe he made it as far as 1809 given the number of times he was wounded!

I still think a Gringo Paul Hicks sculpted Eugene would be the definitive version.  :D

Excellent sculpt! And if it falls to the hands of a skilled painter it will be superb!
Such a gilded uniform! Splendid!

Wow! Great sculpt but I'm afraid my painting skills won't do him justice.

Neither are mine but I'll give it a damn good go. It is tempting with a figure like this to get someone much better than me to paint it though!

It gets a good write up though the cheapest I can find it is £90! A trip to the library might be in order.
