American Indian in British Redcoat figure

[Peter R G Browne]

I came across a nice resin figure the other day of an American Indian in a British redcoat during the Revolution.

It was 90mm or larger, but now I can't find it! Damn..

I think it was Blackfoot or Mohawk or another northern tribe. Very nice detail.

Any ideas? The cover art had the forehead painted in a dark blue I think...

 

[Peter R G Browne]

This was it. But I can't find the maker's website...

 

[Peter R G Browne]

Ah, found it...

Sold out... Pity it's a great pose. Classic Carl Reid.

I don't mean to rub it in. You have excellent taste. I did this a few years ago. One of those very very rare figures - in that I cannot decide the best viewing angle. Its that good. I wish you luck in finding one.

I have asked Stormtroopers if they could do any more. I suspect not... Nevertheless I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, I'm going to find happiness in another of Carl Reid's Indian figures with a similar theme:

Hello Peter

You might want to have a look at Carl Reid’s own website at https://carlreidsculptures.com which has a couple of figures of a similar theme.

You read my mind Rick; I ordered that one after seeing the Reid figure from Stormtroopers was OOP, see above post..

Gordon used to have a 200mm standing Iroquois which I painted years ago. Maybe he has one hanging around someplace?

Consider Troop 54 Miniatures as well, they'e dabbled with similar figures.

Not sure if this one appeals Peter, and it may be too small, but I thought I'd mention it, Scale75's Mohawk Militia Figure...

Cheer's,
Jeff.

Thanks Jeff, saw that one in my travels. A bit small for me though. I'm now smitten by Carl Reid's figures...

Carl Reid has always been one of my favorite sculptors of works to paint and I've painted quite a few. Sadly, I don't see anything anymore.
I flat out refuse to paint a computer generated piece of sculpture.

And no wonder. I'd say there's nobody, anywhere, better than Carl Reid in that niche. He is a world beater. And no, he's not paying me to say that!

Carl is still around and knocks out a figure or two under his own name from time to time. He may or may not still be sculpting for other companies (I'm not sure, someone else might know). He used to come on here but I think he stopped posting some time ago. He seems to be mainly active on Facebook these days.
