minifig inspired bustes

[CDKiii]

Hello,

i didn't know where to post it, so i try here.

Loving lego is awesome, except when you don't have the same tastes that your second half, speaking of living room decoration. I had to remove my minifig army from the bookshelf, my wife was affraid to be attacked by night by some fierce napoleonic tiny hussars.

But i didn't give up, wanted to show my love for lego and history, i designed and printed some artistic bustes, reminding minifigs.

What are your thoughts?

These bustes look great. The Legionnaire is my favorite! Did you paint them? They have a metallic look.

Thank you both.

yes, i painted them. I used a sculpture technic applying lighter acrylic coats before the last one was fully dry.

then, dry brush of gold paint and TADAH...

Genral Cambronne was the commander in chief of the infantry division of the imperial guard at the WATERLOO battle. He is famous for answering to the suurender proposal of the Brits by "MERDE" (or shit in english), then "la garde meure mais ne se rend pas" (the guard die but never surrender).
