General August Von Sporcken

General August Von Sporcken is my latest conversion and addition to the army of Hanover. I based the figure in the painting below, which shows Von Sprocket as elderly and fairly unkempt straggly white hair. I have modelled the figure bare headed to show this feature and have him holding his tricorne with his left hand, sword in his right hand. Von Sporcken can now join his completed regiment on my shelves until called into action

    Thanks Donnie. One part of the hobby that I really enjoy is creating figures from the period and researching them. It just makes the hobby more meaningful and satisfying for me
