Completed Officer, 5th Georgia Vol Inf, "Charge again"

[Viking Bob]

I have now finished this figure and a lot of fun it was.
The sword blade was burnished with a steel needle and looks a whole lot better than being painted.
I used acrylics throughout except the flesh tone, they are oils. I painted the inside of the kepi to represent the brushed cotton lining and a white square for the makers mark.
Hope you like.
Why "Charge again", this was the motto of the Georgia Vol Inf, Clinch Rifles.




Thanks for looking in.

Very nice work Bob - I’m loving that Rifle Green coat & the inside lining of the kepi is a great detail, good spot there!

Scott, Many thanks. Glad you like him


Pete, thank you


Nap, Yep the trousers were black for fatigue dress so it made it look different but the name inside the kepi is not misspelt, it's the size of the hat.
(unless it was a private purchase)
I always appreciate your input mate, thankyou.

Hi Bob!

Simple and very effective miniature as figure painting should always be IMO.
Cheers,

Hello Pedro, thank you very much for the superb comment.
I know what you mean when a base can overpower the painted miniature.
Kind regards
Bob.

Love that figure. You did a nice job with it. Done two myself so far one as Clinch Rifles like yours with the black fatigue trousers and one as Orr's Rifles.
