Ok, so Ducos was dead by the time of the events of 1815 in Belguim, executed by a firing squad after attempting to steal the Emperors gold, but, Victoria bought me this lovely model from Brigade Games.
I've painted him in the bottle green coat that is warn by the actor Féodor Atkine in the TV series.
No doubt we shall be able to call him a "Bastud" in a broad Yorkshire accent during our games.
Very cool character figure, Scrivs. Love the glasses.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, it too a couple of attempts to stop him looking like Richard E. Grant ;)
DeleteSplendid looking figure
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil
DeleteA great little character Paul...
ReplyDeleteAnd now he’s made of lead... you can shoot him again and again 😄
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly, that is a hope....
DeleteVery nice and suitably shifty looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil
DeleteGreat work Paul!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteVery nice work! That is a HUGE pistol he is toting. When discharged, I bet it knocks him out of the saddle.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan
DeleteHe's a very slight figure, I think pulling the trigger will knock him back into last week.
Dang. Now I'll have to buy one. Looks just like the fellow in the Sharpe TV shows.

They are rather lovely casts are't they. Beware though they are a little small next to Perry/Warlord.
DeleteVery nice Paul! The monogram is a very nice touch I wouldn’t have thought of
DeleteThank you
DeleteOh I do like that mate! Very atmospheric figure. In our games we had the character of "Major Pierre Côdu" so I need to get a suitable figure, but most of our stuff is Front Rank so perhaps this chap might be too small?

Cheers Matt, I reckon he would look like a 13 yr old boy next to a Front Rank figure
