Mosso d'Esquadra 1809-1815

The next figure that is standing on my workbench is the "Mosso d'Esquadra" or Catalan police from 1809 - 1815. I will start painting this figure next weekend on the club meeting of El Baluard. The figure is sculpted by Antonio Zapatero and the box-art painted by Jesus Gamarra. I have cleaned the mold lines and mounted most of the figure, now it's ready to receive some paint.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Finished Officer 3rd foot Grenadier 1751

After some intensive weeks of painting I managed to finish the figure in time for Soldat de Plom. Now that the figure arrived home again I could take some pictures of the finished figure. The figure is totally painted using acrylics. Painting the grenadier hat took quite some time but I'm satisfied with the final result.  The figure base was kept simple and was painted using an airbrush. Here are the pictures of the finished figure. Up to the next figure.

Cheers,
Marcel.
