Ended up finishing up this figure as my 3D print Landsknecht artillery crew is in USPS limbo. The USPS tracker shows they arrived at Seattle last Saturday, and were supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. As of today, it still shows them as "In Transit to Next Facility, Arriving Late" since last Tuesday with no new update. I'll give it another few days, and if it is still MIA, I'll see if the seller can either refund me or request a tracer on it. Maybe I'm not supposed to get these figures, as these were originally ordered from an Etsy seller in Poland almost 2 months ago, but after a long wait, the seller said he couldn't send it due to increase mailing fees. He refunded me, and I was able to find a seller in the US (Florida), which was quickely printed and mailed to me - but as stated above is now in the USPS universe.
Anyway, on to the this particular figure. A nice sculpt of Napoleon in his early career as a general during the Republic. The figure beside him is a Brigade Games 28mm figure with him in similar uniform during the Egyptian Campaign.I think his jawline is a bit too broad and overall a bit too well-fed, as he is described during his younger years a looking gaunt and emaciated.
In any case, I'm still planning on hosting a Pike & Shotte Italian Wars game, with or without artillery crew, in the near future. Our bathroom rebuild/remodel is just about complete. Just waiting on new shower glass and some trim to touch up. The wife was finally able to use her bathroom sinks and bathtub for the first in about 5 months. Thanks for check the blog, and hope you all are doing well.
Clean and snappy Dean, at least they gave the figure longer hair as it should be. I like it!
