The latest from Mr Horan
Text by Bill
Just finished my latest figure
A Drummer of the 17th Iowa during the Atlanta Campaign of 1864, specifically just before the fateful (and bloody) attack at Kennesaw Mountain.
The red clay is distinctive to the state of Georgia.
I’ve done a drummer in more formal eastern army dress before, but wanted to create one that was more typical of the Western Army.
He wears his musician’s frock coat, but a black plug hat, and a simple white canvas sling…clothing and equipment are showing signs of wear after weeks of non-stop marching and fighting…
The snare drum is from my friends at G&G Miniatures…

I don't know if you guys have noticed that Bill's figure's hands look different? I did and was wondering. I was standing next to him as he was explaining at the Chicago show. Previously, he'd start with a commercial hand and modify it by resculpting fingers. He now sculpts the whole hand as he finds it faster.
Bills latest ...another fine piece of puttywork
“My latest figure, a Private of the Grenadier Guards during the Omdurman campaign of 1898.
I wanted to make him as suntanned as possible, and very dusty, as this is pretty evident in the photographs of the regiment.
Huge thanks to the late Michael Barthorp, whose article in Military Illustrated No. 3 and the accompanying illustrations by Pierre Turner provided all the references needed.
Thanks again to my friends at Geg Miniatures for the superb Lee Metford rifle and Slade Wallace pouches.
Mess kit and India pattern canteen were my additions…”
