1808 El Molinos del Rey, Spanish campaign.

7th Infantry Regiment of the line. Champagne country regiment whose song was "to loan my girlfriend"

Our man is near El Molinos del Rey in Spain .... At the bend of a road, an ambush .... we must act ...

very nice, did you make the shako? and the coat, is it hand-made?

Very nice bash. Well detailed and weathered. The head sculpt looks a lot like a young Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock.

Fine portrait of a field soldier, what with the dirt, patching, and kindling. Your craftsmanship is terrific. French soldiers likely remembered service in Spain with more bitter memories than good.

thank you very much friends. I appreciate your comments. there is a lot of work. I made uniform, hat and equipment ... the base is also handmade. I added pieces of fabric on the pants to be more realistic

differents size....

shakos were not manufactured in the factory. so they were often different from one head to another. my shako was made on the measures taken to a shako exposed to Army Museum in PARIS.
