another recruit for the witch barbecue...
lovely little figure from The Assault Group, available as a freebie with orders... a couple of quirks though caused a bit of head scratching... the tip of the musket is below the level of the integral base, so couldn't level him out very easily which meant a bit of undulating terrain... also, I was surprised the raised visor wasn't seperate, god knows how they managed to cast that... but it made paint past that and the hands a chore...
as he's wearing the wrong jacket, my plans to Ian Ogilvy him up a bit went out of the window and I was forced to actually google some reference pics rather than just watch a DVD... buff jacket and some more puritan troos seemed the order of the day... and he matches his mate a bit...
tried something a bit different with the base and used some static grass and the usual tufts... I quite like it, gives a kind of moor feel to it I reckon... but I have never liked basing so hey...

That´s a lovely and original sculpt..
ReplyDeleteodd about the barrels being to low and the visor not being seperate but you´ve done a nice paint job on him
Cheers

I like this guy because he's not at all flashy or overdone... he's just right. Good job on a potentially limiting and frustrating sculpt.
