Hi everyone,. don't know if it's my imagination or has this little gem slipped under the radar since its recent release....(I don't do Facebook , it may have beem on there)
It's a super sculpt by Carl Reid and is produced by Steve at SK Miniatures.....best of all you get TWO alternative heads.....fabulous.....as a matter of personal taste I added the rifle sling..
My usual finish of oils over acrylics and or humbrol Matt...

Thanks for looking .Mike

Lovely job Mike. Super colours and the grain on the Martini Henry and subdued weathering are great.

Hi Mike

I like the subject and the weathering and worn look on the jacket is really effective

Good head option as well ...nice work on that helmet as well

Thanks for sharing

Nap

Why not put something into FOTM as well if you haven't already !
