We will see Georges, it will be a great idea to give two rifles and pouches so anyone can paint him as a boer or a confederate soldier.

Excellent work.
I love the "flow" in the pose.
Two thumbs up!!!

 

[Christosjager]

Thanks a lot Taesung for your critique. I am very glad you like it.

Very nice work.
Just to be sure, he shouldn't be carrying a Kar98 as a Boer, he would be carrying something earlier like a Spanish or model 1893-1898 Mauser, which are a bit different than the WWII era Kar98. Only reason I know this is that I am doing a figure conversion in 200mm of a Boer and had to modify a WWII Mauser to suit the figure.
Cheers

Thank you Jason for noticing that little but very serious detail, I will modify the weapon to be historically correct, thanks again.

The Boer is ready for paint, here are the final photos of the finished model,
I lenghten a bit the shoes, I modified the Kar98 into a Boer Mauser and I add the pouches to the belt, next place will be at the V-Bench...

Good Work Christos

Very nice! Please consider seeking a manufacturer for another version for commercial release. The Boer War is under-represented in the hobby!

Christos an excellent finish and looking forward to seeing him painted.

Cheers Ken

An excellent sculpt all around! I especially like the natural pose, it looks very realistic. I was wondering if you sculpted the entire head, or if you modified an existing head? Obviouly, you added the beard, but I meant aside from that. The reason I ask is that I have been looking for stock heads in 1/24 scale and was curious as to where you got yours from, if you didn't sculpt it from scratch that is. Thanks and again well done.

 

[Christosjager]

Thank you guys for your feedbacks,
Glenn the head is scratch, unfortunatelly I have no pictures to show how I sculpted it, the putty is Magic Sculp, but I now that there are some heads in 1/24 I'll try to find and tell you the company (if still exists).

 

[ghamilt1]

Cheers Christos, I'll watch this space for further developments

Glenn the company that was selling 75mm heads was Thistle (if I am writing it right) but it is closed now, I am sorry.
