Completed TFB's Texas Lone Star Infantry. 4th regt.t

[MalcC]

This is from TFB's ACW range 75mm in resin.
I don't often alter any figures, but after doing some research and looking at some photos,
I decided to have a go and alter the beard and moustache.
At this stage the face has been painted in acrylics (Vallejo), and I've begun building up
the reds of the shirt, using the scale 75 range.

Nice soup strainer you have given him, the red shirt is looking good, SC75 reds can take a little work but are good scale representation for clothing.

Cheers Simon

Nice start Malc, looking good.

 

[NigelR]

Very nice start, following along......

Thanks Simon, After going through some photos I couldn't resist adding the soup strainer as you call it.
Considering I'm can't sculpt for a toffee, I'm quite pleased with the result.
You're right about the reds, it does take a while to build up the layers, I'm also trying out a black primer.
I'll be back at the bench after watching the F1 qualifying.

Thanks Melanie, I'm pleased the way the beard turned out, as well as the shirt.
I gradually built up the layers and tones which have brought out a finish.
Those Scale 75 paints dry nice and flat.

Lovely work so far, that shirt is looking ace. I'm rather tempted by some of the TFB ACW figures, maybe one of the union chaps can go on my christmas list.

I can highly recommend TFB's ACW range, and they''re very well cast too.

Great start Malc it’s coming along very well indeed. Loving the beard and the red is coming along very well indeed.

Stefan you would enjoy the ACW range we do they are a little different to the traditional blue and gray. A lot are Militia units from the start of the war. A good splash of colour.

Hi Malc,

I have to agree - you're off to a great start, and can't wait to see more.

Cheers Steve, Well you did tell me to Ruck on. so I went straight on to my next figure in line.
This is a great one from TFB, so fingers crossed I can do it justice.

Progress has been a little slow, as I've been concentrating on the haversack and canteen strap, prior to working on the canteen.
Once I've finished this step I can paint the trousers and fit the left arm in position.
The canteen has been fitted in position, and I've consealed the join of the straps with magic-sculpt, and put aside to dry.
