WIP Critique 75mm ACW Confederate Infantry

[Colin_Fraser]

Working on this nice old Moz Corry figure, released under his own name. I am not sure who has these kits now. Early days on this and the face and beard are not yet completely done. Pants are only undercoated. I scraped the "US" off his belt.

Great start on this guy... One of my fav Moz figs. Are you doing it in all acrylics and inks or are you laying on some oil too?

Following along...

Colin

BTW have I seen this somewhere else? Like deja vu all over again

 

[Ray Welshman]

Looking really good Colin. The trousers from the pics actually looks like cloth

Cheers

....don't mean to sound like a button counter, but this is a Pete Moreton figure......sorry.

Funny. I won't argue with you but I am pretty sure I bought it direct from Moz personally when he did hid first 3 Crimea light cavalry 75mms. Why would he have been selling Pete's work with his own? But then it could be my old man memory failing me

In any case, a nice piece. The set of the eyes was a bit of a challenge with the right one looking to be a litle further from the nose than the left (IMO).

Thanks for the interest.

Nice work.

I'm sure it's a Moz Corry piece, and it is available from MMM now, which is where I got mine.

Nice job!

This is definately the work of the late great Pete Morton and sculpted for Mozs Company,Pete was working for/with Moz at the time.Pete did a couple of figures for Moz.
Great painting by the way
Regards
Pete

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Thanks Pete....so we learned something. And this would be my first Pete sculpt. What a loss his passing was in terms of sculpting and character. This place hasn't really been the same since :-(

Bob

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Thanks Bob...."y'all come back now!"

 

[Blind Pew]

In my criminal haste I forgot to add that you've done a nice job with it as well. Not easy lining up the figure with the fence....

 

[Edward]

Your version looks great so far - I enjoyed painting this figure (by Pete Morton) but I chose the other head with the kepi. It's a very good sculpt, I love the pose.
