I had a few stops and starts doing this figure but got there in the end. Italian subjects are seemingly few and far between, well apart from Bersagliary (have I spelt that right?). I came across the illustration for this on Pintrest and couldn't resist making it.
As per usual he started life as a plastic 1/35th figure with all detail stripped off and a Hornet head attached. The only other commercial bits on show are the hands, boots and a re-sized Historex sword. Everything else is either Magicsculpt or post it paper (trouser stripes) and a bit of foil for sword slings and sword knot.
Painted in Acrylics, mostly but not exclusively Scalecolor 75.
I intend making more of my own figures and more Italians to be sure, however I am going to bump up to 1/32nd scale to see if I can improve with more room to sculpt in. Not quite ready for anything bigger yet but I do want to try my hand at 60 to 75mm figures.
