Major WFN Arny 1813 - 1881
1/10th scale resin - 3 parts
Sculpted by Carl Reid
Painted by Rod Curtis

Recently released by United Empire Miniatures, this bust represents Major WFN Arny. When I saw his attire I knew I had to have one and after it arrived from The Red Lancers I decided to do a review on it. The 3 part kit is cast in 3 parts. The box art photos have been lightened to show more of the detail.

Arriving in a light weight white cardboard box I found all the parts wrapped in bubble-wrap with the small part sealed inside a zip-lok baggie.

The above bottom photo shows the 3 parts removed for inspection.

Above you see various views of the one piece torso and head.

Above you see the separate cast quiver which attaches to the back left shoulder.

Conclusion:
An excellent sculpting and casting depicting Arny or a Mountain Man of this time period. Highly recommended.
