Havildar 36th (Sikh) Regiment, Bengal Infantry 1898

[Briggsy]

A long over due return to the Indian Army for me on this particular conversion. Thanks to Stefan for the boots and putties that he printed.

The body started as a stripped down Historex torso and legs, the Martini Henry is from El Greco and the head is a stock item in resin. Everything else is Magicsculpt and a little bit of plasticard to make the quoite in his turban.

Painted in acrylics from Vellajo, Scale Colour 75, Darkstar and Citadel, and a few inks from the same.

Hope you like him.




Thanks to all for following me during this project.

Cheers Simon

Another great unique piece, an interesting subject and very nicely handled. I love the way you painted the uniform colours in particular, the end result is a very striking figure.
