Col Marcellin Marbot (1 Viewer)

Found this half forgotten MetaleModels kit of an chasseur officer of the Young Guard. As it was standing and the ref was for an all red uniform, I wanted another Nap uniform to be represented. So I came across Marbot in a green Hussar uniform with this shako roleaux.

I used a half converted Historex horse and airfix Scot’s grey legs to modify the fig. I cut up the shabraque to fit it properly on the horse.

I'm just using this lull phase in between the large dioramas to get more single figures done.
Reviving this. I studied it for a while and decided to change the horse which was too static.
So I selected another spare horse with a turned head and substituted a rear left leg to create a chafing pose.
