Colour Sergeant of the 93rd. Balaclava 1854.

Ray Sun Apr 12, 2015 5:37 pm

Here's one from the Immortals of "The Thin Red Line"

Inspired by Bill Horan's 54mm figure (my all time favourite) this is 99% scratchbuilt & in 1:16th scale or 120mm.

I will post EARLIER PICS of the whole construction process as time goes by, because I'm very very tight as I must get him ready for MFCA & I depart on the 6th of May with Stephen

So this is how he looks like before the Paint Splashing begins

Ray, the paint job is amazing, maybe one of your very best but i think that the figure has oversize hands. It is either the photograph's angle or else they are huge. Way too big. I see it most in the hand holding the rifle. It might be my impression but it is something that struck me as soon as i saw the complete painted figure.
