WIP Roll Call part 1

[Geoff Charman]

I have not posted anything for ages as I have had Gall Bladder problems, which has now been removed and then a couple more visits to hospital because of stray gall stones, but hopefully I am fit now and trying to get my modelling mojo back.
I shall be trying to complete part one of Gordon Mitchell's Roll Call series. This is the first set of five 1/32nd figures, sculpted by Mos Corry depicting a roll call of the Grenadier Guards after the Battle of Inkermann in the Crimea 1854. It is taken from a Lady Butler painting that is in the Royal Collection.



The first figure I completed was the left one taking the roll call.



The rest of the figures I have been block colour painting but varying the outer coat colour slightly to give it a bit of age for a couple of figures.
These 4 figures are still WIP and I still have to paint their muskets.



Still lots to do so now I have started this thread I must start getting the brushes working.

I have finally finished these 5 figures and mounted them on the base to which I added some snow.



It made a change to do some full figures, (with legs........ Sorry Nap)

I'm pleased with the end result and they will be going to Bugle Call on the PF stand this Sunday, with a selection of my latest busts.
