Newcastle's Whitecoats, 1644

[valiant]

Hi guys,

Just some pics of my latest completion - a 120mm Hofi Musketeer. This has undergone a few modifications, but is largely as per kit, with most of the work done on the face and hair. I have painted this up as the regiment in the title. The kit sword was replaced with a spare, as I felt it was too big, more like a cavalry sword.

All painted in acrylics, with a base made by me.

Thanks for looking in

Steve

Yes Nap - its an old Hofi kit I was given. The sculpting and casting was pretty good, but the face, IMO, was awful! I extended the coat a bit and redid the piping, added the ribbon to the arm and added the matchcord, but discarded the rest (nothing wrong with it - it just wouldn't fit on the base!)

This is one very nice piece of paintwork Steve.

Sorry Steve just seen your post properly ..my age you know !

These Hofi have a lot of potential IMO

Keep at it !

Nice piece of work Steve.
A number of the Hofi and Ci-Fi kits were very nice.

Cheers,
