Rifle Brigade Corporal

[Macca G]

Corporal of the Rifle Brigade, The Crimea 1854
75mm resin kit from JB Historical Figures. Sculpted by John Belcher
Painted in acrylics. The Rifle Green was quite a challenge to get right.
There may be an easier recipe, but my basecoat consisted of
Phthalo Green (Kimera)
Carbon Black (Kimera)
Black Green (Vallejo)
English Uniform (Vallejo)
Olive Green (Jo Sonja)
Storm Blue (Jo Sonja)

If anyone is interested in acquiring this kit, the best place, I can suggest sourcing it from is CGS Military Figures.
And get the Dragoon as well while you are there.

Really great work, I think you nailed the Rifle green. I like the fabric effect on the bag as well, very nice.

Very skilful painting on that one. The textures are excellent and as already said the Rifle green is perfect.

Just superb! The facial expression captured is spot on. Tempted by this one myself! Regards Pete
