French artillery officer



After painting the artillery battery, I had the three officer figures remaining, one of them was used in an infantry battalion, but this week I did another as a single figure, to use as either a leader in our Sharpe Practice games, or as a marker for the "big battle" games.


Like the other Vicrtix figures he's a lovely model once assembled, but they seem to have a few more mold lines compared to the Perry Miniatures ones so take more cleaning up.


I like the pose, looks like he is cupping his hand to make himself heard over the gunfire to he half-deaf gunners.

  1. Nice work! I agree that the Victrix figures are nice, if sometimes fiddly to assemble.

  5. He looks great. I like the way that he is passing on the watch-word, or perhaps sharing a joke about the colonel!!
