Outpost Bulgarian Legion Command Figure, Russo Turkish War
(clix pix for BIG PIX)
Greetings, fellow shut-ins. This is just a quick post showing an interim step in a work in progress. I'm currently working on a unit of the Bulgarian Legion of the Russo Turkish War. In so doing, I thought I'd finish up the command figure (above) ahead of the others. I have to relate that I was not expecting much when I started on this fellow, particularly since he is draped in a greatcoat, but this was one of those figures that surprises you by emerging into something special as you go. I was struck by how this sculpt is much more a "personality" figure than something you might find among others in a command set. It strikes me that he would fit in nicely as a single figure in a pulp adventure line set in the "back of beyond" or the Russian Civil War: "Billy Badass the Bulgarian."
No dandy waving a sword and shouting encouragements, Billy is in on the action: very in keeping with the fighting reputation of the Bulgarian Legion (even if it was officered by Russians: we can overlook that bit and assume that there could have been Bulgarian officers at company level--where the pistol action is).
Excelsior!
