I've been working on a few French Revolutionary generals. They began quite some time ago as practice sculpts but were abandoned, recently ressurected. I am doing a set of five. Again as said in another thread I know this is a 10mm forum, but here you can see the type of work that forms my "day job". I am not doing this to tease the adocates of a 10mm French revolution range  ;)

These guys are still WIP, there's bits to add and fine tune, but they are mostly there now.

First two are General Adam Philippe de Custine (General Moustache) and Desaix. The other three will go up as they are closer to being finished. Hope you like them

Young Bonaparte himself is almost done, here's some shots. Kleber and Kellerman will follow tomorrow.

Last two figures, Kellerman and Kleber. They have lagged behind the other three somewhat, and need a bit more work, especially Kellerman. I've been sent some additional information on the coats so all five will see some additional detail now.

Wow, very inspired stuff you have there!  I like the poses, particularly the young Bonaparte is striking. =D>

Cheers! and 10 bonus points to Mr. Harwood!

Used that pose but the uniform is an eariler one. I think that picture captures the brooding nature I tend to ascribe to young Boney. What defines him is the eyes. I don't think I captured them quite right, but perhaps a good painter can remedy that.

Well they are up on ebay now, not the ideal way to dispose of them, but I have to.

Please note its only a three day auction; they'll only be there until Sunday night (22.40 UK time). I'm not a napoleonic gamer so my knowledge is limited, but if you want help the chances of them going on general release and there's manufacturer you think would do a good job on them, perhaps nudge them in this direction. I hope that's not too cheeky a suggestion.
