Rorke's Drift (RDG Miniatures, 1/32)

[Edward]

I've finally finished this rather challenging project!

The figures are sculpted by Maurice Corry. I modified some of the heads slightly though.

I used a mix of Vallejo and Scale75 acrylics.

The composition is based on the painting by Alphonse de Neuville.

The figure at the back pointing is Lt Gonville Bromhead.

Padre George Smith with the red beard is handing cartridges to a soldier of the 24th Foot.

Surgeon James Reynolds is tending to a Natal Native Contingent soldier.

Corporal William Allen is in the right foreground.

Hope you like it!

Very nicely done

 

[Blind Pew]

A classic already. For me, a highlight is that red-haired beard. Achieving the correct colour in miniature is not easy but you've managed it with aplomb.
An all-round excellent job.

Thanks for the kind words.
