WIP 19th Regt. of Foot bust from CGS Miniatures

Geoff Charman · Mar 20, 2018

Yet another scarlet uniformed bust, this time from CGS Miniatures via Steve Kirtley.
It is a nice crisply moulded 1/9th bust of a soldier of the 19th Regt. of Foot, The Green Howards during the Crimean War.

I cleaned him up and primed him the same time as the Gordon Highlander bust, some that saves time and primer as I use a rattle can and you waste such a lot of primer cleaning out the nozzle pipe.

He has some lovely face detail.

I have to admit I have been doing the odd bit of painting while waiting for the paint to dry on the Highlander, like his eyes, mouth and shako.

So that's it for today, Artist's oils time tomorrow morning with that lovely face.

Certainly is Bob, it has amazing detailing on him, like the stitching on the belts and the texture on the backpack.

Hi Geoff, It is nice start.

clrsgt · Mar 20, 2018

Great start Geoff. I don't remember this one and I am drawn to napoleonic and crimean subjects like a moth to a flame.

Phater · Mar 20, 2018

Great start, Geoff. You certainly are prolific. I wish I could turn them out like you do. Figures are on my bench so long that I lose interest before I’m done.

Thanks, he is certainly worth buying, the detail is superb, I shall be taking a long time, for me, on this one.

Thanks Tom, I try and make time every day where possible, even if only an hour, I am retired and due to health issues the cold and windy conditions do not generally allow me to go out much that's why I'm not modelling much in the Summer. Just keep plodding on mate, think of the end result and the joy of seeing it finished.

LOL, no way, we are out today as it's so nice and sunny, I hope I shall do it justice, but will certainly enjoy him.

Managed to get a couple of hours on the face using my old favorite oil-based Artist's oils.

He's a bit shiny at the moment but will matt down a bit when dry.

That's it for today.

Looks spot on, great expression!
