Elan13 75mm (1/24) Corporal Philip Smith VC 17th Regt Sevastopol 1855

[Steve Brodie]

Next victim(s) on the model bench is this two figure vignette from the excellent Elan13 models , available here -



Corporal Philip Smith VC 17th Regt Sevastopol 1855 rescuing an officer.

Corporal Smith won his VC at Sevastopol for repeatedly going out in front of the advanced trenches against the Great Redan, on the 18th June 1855, under a very heavy fire, after the column had retired from the assault and bringing in wounded comrades.



Everything has been base painted with Tamiya acrylics via airbrush and will then be painted in oils. Work has ben started on the trousers, couple of touch ups needed and the bandage to be finished.

Looks excellent.

But the wounded is an NCO! No problem!

Great looking set! Can't wait to see how this one develops. Reminds me of the old Verlinden 120mm British Para set from WW II

Arms, heads and legs just blue tacked on.
Get the reds painted, baked in the slow cooker for 30-40mins to dry out, then matt varnished, now need to be dusted/dirtied up a bit. Started on the heads, again painted in Oils. Need to sort out Phil's bulbous right eye and give the wounded chap a right eye !, can hopefully then get on with the 'whites' and the cuffs.

Would not be able to get to some parts if I built them first. It does make things trickier at the end

 

[Steve Ski]

Man, lookin good, Steve!

 

[Steve Brodie]

Most of the white bits have now been painted. Phils head has been glued on plus the casualty’s arm and leg. Got the haversack and cartridge case to paint plus the haversack strap and then can add on the casualty’s arm. Some bits will need tidying / touching up.
