I went back, temporarily, to painting smaller scale figures for a change of pace. 36mm to be exact.
This set, by Oniria Miniatures, is based on the 1940's movie "Northwest Passage" starring Spencer Tracy and Robert young among others.
In 1759 during the French and Indian War, a group of Roger's rangers attacked and defeated a French allied force of Abenaki Indians. The vignette represents the Roger's rangers on their long trek back home after the battle.
The figures, sculpted by Angel, were a pleasure to paint as the detail is fantastic. I added the rifle slings which were made using black electric tape (thanks to Doug Cohen for the tip) and the smallest buckles from some Historex kits in my spares box.
The groundwork was made using pieces of slate combined with epoxy putty. I added a tree casting from Armand Bayardi and twigs from the yard. A few of the leaves are a laser cut paper product with the bulk made from my wife's spice cabinet. Finally finished with Static grass and a few artificial plants.
Thanks for Looking,
Ken
