Liberty's Kids character "Henri Lefebrve" (MPC)

Henri Lefebrve is the last of the three main characters from the TV show Liberty's Kids.  His companions James Hiller and Sarah Phillips have already been featured on Redcoats and Ruffles (at http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2018/05/libertys-kids-character-james-hiller.html and http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2018/01/sarah-phillips.html).

Henri is a spunky and optimistic character.  Originally from France, he was brought to the colonies as a slave, but rescued by James and Moses.  I enjoyed him because we both shared an intense admiration for the Marquis de Lafayette.








  The original figure began as a MPC militiaman running (similar to the one on far right, who was changed by lowering his musket to a "trail arms" position).  His coat was removed and changed into an unbuttoned waistcoat.

(The middle figure is another conversion from the same pose.  He is one of my earliest conversion works and a favorite of mine.  The hoop was a water bottle cap.)

Henri was painted in acrylics with the exception of his shoes, which were painted with a glossy enamel.
