After using the Boki set for Kutuzov I was left with the AB Kutuzov figure spare. I had also picked up additional command figures that I have been converting from the Prussian sets. I wanted to produce a version of General Fabian Gottlieb Von Sacken. He was a bit round like Kutuzov and the AB figure seemed a good start for conversion. My modelling skills are very limited so I went for the bare head look, apart from a lump of milliput stuck on top of his nogging.
The end result I thought looked okay. Mostly as it did not rely heavily on my modelling skills, more on the skill of Anthony Barton. Then it was splish splash bosh with the Vallejo’s and voila!
Now some keen eyed People might say, hang on a minute why is Von Sacken wearing his sash like Kutuzov? It’s on the wrong way round (some might also say it just looks like Kutuzov)! Well, firstly my crafting skills are not good enough to erase the original sash and create a new one. Secondly, the photo was probably taken at a distance and it makes them look similar. Something like that.
