United States Marine c.1836. 75mm (APG figure)

[F Troop]

President Andrew Jackson and I love the uniform colors on this Marine even though the Marines of the day hated it.

It was a fun figure and the only thing I added was the vent pick/pan brush; defined the drop front trouser flap and added the sling at Jack Thompson suggestion.

Also doomed the shako a bit. I'm satisfied with my shako's varnished leather sheen.

Tried some different lighting to hopefully capture my grass green better.
