WIP FeR Miniatures - Militiaman 1781

[phil_h]

Hey guys!

Here is the latest piece I'm working on - FeR miniatures 1781 Virginia militiaman. All that's left is the hands, rifle, and base/groundwork (he'll be standing in a nice forest during the summertime). As a militiaman, he's not wearing an official continental uniform - and he's been painted to reflect this...

Any comments/questions are always welcome

Regards,
Phil

(Sorry for the crappy pics - the colors are off for some reason that is beyond my skill to figure out)

Very nice! I would love to see some of these Revolutionary war figs in a larger scale, like 1/16. 75mm just too small for me. Well done.

Thanks winfield! I really enjoy painting leather textures - you can really have fun with making them look old and worn

Thanks Jason! I hear you - I don't think I've ever seen anything from this period larger than 75mm. Personally I would love to see some really detailed 90mm figures from this period...

Phil, Thanks for sharing the FeR Colonial Figure. Great job on painting the leatherwork. Could you share with us how you pulled it off please?

Check out Michael Roberts Ltd. There several larger scale AWI/Colonial figures produced. I just received the new 10th Massachusetts figure in 75mm and it is very nice.
