US Cavalry Civil War

[BigDaddy]

Hello everyone
Here is my rendition of Romeo's US Cavalry figure, 54mm. I scrapped the kit base in favor of scratch building a tree from various gauges of twisted copper wire covered with A&B and wall spackle. The foliage is Silflor. The figure and accessories are painted with acrylics. The horse was done in oils. Thanks for looking, Matt

That's Nice.
I like the pose - kind of a peaceful scene -

Nicely done. The photos make it look a bit dark overall though

I've always wanted to do this figure. But when I see it, I lay it aside.
Now i've seen yours, the bullet is trough the church. This is so great painted and with that tree it is awesome.
I gonna buy one for myself.
What a great and outstanding work.
