Baltimore Guard 1861 Bust/Painted

[Jimbo]

Following on from my post of a little while ago in the sculpting section, this is my finished painted 1/9 Baltimore Guard 1861 Scratch built using milliput/ Magi-sculpt & a spare head from CGS military figures Royal Marine Drum Major, painted in oils/acrylics.

Very nice in deed Jim,
As Kevin says the blue combo looks good and the shape and size of the bearskin cap look exceptionally good. Too often these are made a lot smaller than they were, at this time the bigger the better.
Following your initial on this fine fellow; I will avoid suggesting that this would convert nicely in to a Coldstreamer.
All the very best Mate,
Keith
