Armand Louis de Gontaut, Duc de Lauzun by the outrageously talented Doug Mason. Lauzun and his trumpeter are radical conversions (the original figure is cut down to a bare torso, and the uniform and details built back up from wire and soldier) of Gilder figures.
I recommend clicking on the photos to really appreciate the level of detail - the flowing pelisse, flapping sabertache, etc. create a real sense of movement and animation. The painting is pretty sharp too - no one does 'bling' better than DM.
Now all i need to do is create the Legion hussars - don't hold your breath....

Tasty- very tasty. I'm almoste tempted to make some myself ..... almost .....
Sensational - beautiful. Also mind-blowing, as far as the creative process is concerned. My wife was wondering what the hysterical giggling was about, so she came through here to check.
It is good to see wonders like this - for the sheer glory of it, and to keep one appropriately humble.
Excellent figures, Doug is a true master, also like your basing

Amazing and truly inspirational from every respect. Many thanks for posting. I'm just lost in admiration. Doug's artistry is simply superb.
Wonderful job, beautiful colors and great details!
I am beginning a Hinton Hunt/DK collection so as to build some classic wargaming armies. Do you have any Hinton Hunt/DK figures you are willing to part with?
I am looking for 20mm Napoleonics (which are, apparently 23mm). If so, please contact me by leaving a comment on my blog:
