WIP ACW Cavalry

[al51williams]

This started life as the HLI figure attached, I made it some years ago. Fortunately I took some moulds and so could make resin castings. The chair originally was an acrylic laser cut. As a retired Product Design teacher the pistol should have best been made with CAD and 3D printing. But, I no longer have access to that kit so made it old school - wire, toothpick, aluminium sheet and Milliputt.
It's a Sergeant of African American US Cavalry, inspired from Victorian studio photographs. About to start painting, will update accordingly.

Very nice, both the original and the new, very well made. I'll follow your progress with the paint with interest.

Cheers Simon
