Quatre-bras...such a place with such an importance. Partially a gamechanger which had an effect on the outcome at Waterloo, and even looking further, as a result had an influence on WWI and in the end resulting in the horrors of WWII...history is so connected.
Seems like an awesome figure Tommy. Good start. Looking forward to see this one painted. One has to love the uniforms of that age ^^

Thanks guys. Stripped the colour and primed again. Work on the face. Then I used scale 75 color: sunset purple for the deep shadows and fuchsia for the blood veins in the eyes. Lightened up with Vallejo rose brown. I think the poor lad has just witnessed something horrific!!!!
