The Lost Cause

[david pickford]

Dear guys,

I'm fairly new to sculpting and post amongst all this great work with much humility. Cause I have been learning from Bill Horan's book mostly, I thought I would have a go at something 'American Civil War.'As a brit, I knew nothing about it - but did swot up. I have used milliput standard and white, magicsculp and Duro. Oh, and just a little help from Shenandoah miniatures.

Ambitious subject David.
Impressive start,
Carl.

These look great are you going to market them at all ?

We are reading the same book and have the same kind of project in mind. Your progress has inspired me to get off my arse and get a start on it too.
Everything is looking good... look forward to seeing some more progress on this project.

Keep it up

Colin

they are intended to form a small vignette following Bill Horan's 'fight for the flag' Here are the figures together.
To avoid it being a slavish copy I have just adopted the 'triangular' composition and the central focus of a struggle for the flag and then just done my own thing.

I painted the standard bearer
