The Pursuit (Michael Roberts)

[DaddyO]

Evening Pfers
I've dug this little vignette from the grey army which I thought I might add a lick of paint to. The original sculpt was by Alan Ball I believe, and shows a pair of Indians running along a stream or dried out river bed dated 1758
I have no references other than the small photo on the top of the box. If someone could tell me what tribe they represent or point me towards some references for costumes I'd appreciate it

Thanks
Paul

Paul, try googling Robert Griffing paintings. He has done many paintings of woodland Indians that can serve as a good reference.

Hi Paul,
When I was painting 'A Moment in Time', I referred to these pictures:-



In addition, I downloaded Marion Ball's article on painting 'Matter of Time', which I found most useful.
You can find it at http://www.mb-miniatures.com/pages/en/articles.php
It's the seventh article down.
Happy painting.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thank you both for the ideas (I'd completely forgotten about that article Andrew)

Cheers
Paul
