Poste Militaire Northern Cheyenne Wolf Scout. A classic figure by Julian Hullis that I had wanted to do for a very long time and bought many years ago. A lot of fun to paint and research, the casting and fit was impeccable. Painted in oils, used Winsor Newton Flake White for the face and body, thought this gave a good representation of the chalk that was used while the Black and Red was depicted as war paint. 90mm.
Great job! Excellent research. The difference between types of body paint among the tribes is ignored by most painters that I have seen. As is the fact that full feather bonnets were rare. Appreciate you sticking to the facts. Ya-ta-hey, heitz!
This has always been my favorite Poste Militaire figure. I painted one about a hundred years ago (it seems) . Just a great figure to paint. You've done strong work on this, really nice painting.

Thanks for the kind words, l really enjoy doing the research. "All is good", love that Navajo saying. My father grew up on the Navajo Nation and had many friends there. We visited often.
