For the centenary - Siegfried Sassoon 1/6 bust

[ColinRF]

This one is a wee bit smaller than the event Napoleonics I have done. I think I may do a small group of war poets as my own little nod to the centenary - Sassoon, Owen, McCrae and perhaps a few others.

Excellent, Colin. Most appropriate.

Thanks Peter. Today I did a quick portrait of Sassoon's friend Lt. Wilfred Owen MC. Owen is recognized as the greatest of the war poets. Sadly he was killed in the last week of the war. This is the same size as Sassoon. They will look good together. Still finalizing his face so minor tweaks yet to come.

Sassoon done. You can see the famous "flash" of the Royal Welch Fusiliers behind his collar. Painted in artist's oils.

I really like these two. I prefer these to your others as they aren't flash or overly shiny with gold bits. They sit really well together. I think its because I like the troopies look. Well done and all those expletives above.
