5th New York (Duryea's) Zouave 54mm

[Airkid]

Having spent quite a while working at the Charles Du Pin figure recently posted, I wanted to do something straightforward next and set myself a week to complete it start to finish. I selected this figure from Beneito which I thought might fit the bill. I got it done in seven sessions but it was a ball-ache from beginning to end. Reasonably satisfied with the result. It needs a blow over with matt varnish but apart from that it's done. Acrylics (AV, Citadel)

Very nicely painted Phil.
I bet the ball-ache was fitting the parts together. Beneito and easy assembly don't often appear in the same sentence!

You got it in one Bill. I've got a couple more of theirs in the GA but they can stay there!

Very nice work, Phil - your groundwork compliments the figure beautifully.

Hi Phil

Seven sessions ..that's fast ......take me that long to do a face ! ....

Nice subject and looks good , like the red , he looks tall as well

Never built a Benito bust but remember seeing a pilot bust in WM that's didn't go together well

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime
