Orr's Rifles, 1st SC Regt of Rifles, 1861, 54mm

[F Troop]

This is my conversion of Latorre Models Clinch Rifles (LM-5404) to a Captain of Orr’s Rifles, 1st SC Regt of Rifles, 1861. It is based on Don Troiani’s print and at least seven period photographs I found on the internet. I had to scratch build the Hardee hat & plume as well as a new left hand. Also added the tie for a little interest. The unusual pin stripe rank insignia of the sleeves can clearly be seen in photos. Painted in acrylics.

Nice conversion, it´s cleverly resolved and very well painted, nice ground work too.

Nice Conversion, well painted.

Looks awesome! I have this one primed and ready to go. Was never keen on doing the green uniform, you've sold me on painting as a "grey" regiment.

Great cnversion and paint work
Cheers

Thanks for all the positive comments. I generally like anything Latorre sculpts because of the way he handles folds and anatomy. Makes for a fun figure to paint. I have another one of these figures I finished as a "Clinch Rifles" with some minor changes that I will post later.

I'll take note Ron ........ but in actuality I have found Mr. Troiani and the American Historical Prints a great help with specific uniform questions and their web site has a nice collection of reference photos. Most helpful and courteous folks.

Love it, you certainly caught the early war uniform well, and I don't think DT cares much unless you cast it and sell it so no worries there. Wish I could convert like that. BTW is the palmetto photo-etch or free hand looks great

Ron;
I must have missed that thread.
