On reflection the former is nicer sculpt and also has more/brighter white which lifts it - all down to breeding no doubt as one has to maintain the distinctions of rank. <br />That said Eugene is a classic sculpt - really captures the painting of him that this is undoubtedly based on. Also your treatment of his uniform will give me some guidelines when I make my own first dabble into HH soon.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-79268339911761504122018-06-05T07:08:59.594+12:002018-06-05T07:08:59.594+12:00I figured a Viceroy counted as a Marshal equivalen...I figured a Viceroy counted as a Marshal equivalent, Rob!Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-44342978523921537702018-06-05T06:53:45.506+12:002018-06-05T06:53:45.506+12:00Eugène a Marshal - I think not, but then Muskets &...Eugène a Marshal - I think not, but then Muskets & Generals isn’t as catchy.
