Title: Captured officer vignette
Post by: B6BosGO on February 18, 2020, 01:02:49 PM
  I am on something of a roll with painting small vignettes.  It's a nice break from production line painting of line regiments.  And this charming one has always been on my list to paint.  A very interesting group of figures and uniforms.  But something about the set looked, well,  like there was much more to the story.  And after a bit of asking around here is the story I found out.  This is from Giles Allison's blog, Tarleton's Quarter.

As the large (let's leave it at that) German officer in the group, I recall the "construction process" only too well!

And, after a mere 15 years of pestering, we will soon (we have been promised) be getting the Foot Guards figures that we were asking him for!

Had you had a few curries before your modelling session...?

I painted the obligatory bald-patch on my version of Dave (along with the Gosling Green facings of the 5th, to reflect his old beret)...  lol

QRF very kindly immortalised me in lead as a speccy-four-eyed, confused-looking Cold War Crab... With appropriately ill-defined modelling and casting...  ;)

OK, large AND smelly.  Happy now?
