CSMC, December 1864

[mark126804]

Ok, all though I started this just a few months ago, I completed it today. As if nobody knows, it’s the FeR USMC First Sergeant. But I decided to add hair and change a few thing to make him a Confederate States Marine. The setting is during the “Siege of Savannah” December 1864. The photos look washed out by the light, sorry. I hope y’all like it.

Painting and presentation are superb.....but I think the sculpt looks a little boyish......I'm sorry if I offended.....but I have to be honest....maybe just the angle of the pics......Very nice looking piece though.......

Wayne, No offense taken. But not sure what you mean, please explain. Really the only thing I did to change the figure is; I added hair to the back and sides of the head. I shaved off the large buckle on the leather strap across the chest and waist. I also shaved the diamond off underneath the sergeant chevrons (reducing him in rank, lol) making him a regular NCO. Other then painting him in Confederate colors the kit is stock. Is it the look on his face or maybe the colors and tones I used on the face? Help me understand and thank you.
