US Cavalry Indian Scout "Curley"

[Hugo Pereira]

Hello

Today, we present a new figure, in a new series... Old West Series...

Little Big Horn and Custer's Last Stand is one of those stories that always brings us imagination... Custer had several Indian scouts with him, from the Crow Tribe, from which Curley stands out. Curley was one of the most famous scouts and is rumored to be in the Last Stand of Custer. Is it a rumor, is it a myth? It's difficult to prove, as according to historical records the only survivor was a horse.

I hope you like the figure and the bust... Has always, criticisms, opinions and ideas are very welcome, as they are the only way we can grow and be better tomorrow than we are today...

Very nice, the textures you've applied look great and I'm sure he'll look good painted.

Love this one, think I'll have to pick one up. Those fabric textures look incredible.

You mention a "new series". Any plans for a 7th Cavalry figure or two, to go with it?

Agree with Steve about the textures....they show more clearly on the large scale
pieces. They're more subtle on the 75mm versions but still work well with some
nifty work with the paint brush. Super tempted by this one - like his other work
it's a gem......

PS Looks like this one was inspired by James Bama's painting...

Hi Steve

In this Moment this is the first figure of the Old West Series. In this moment this figure is alone. In the future, I want do a diorama with US Cavalry and Indians... Maybe a Indian group ambush a Cavalry Squadron... But this is for future... Isnt for Know...

Thank you so much.

Hello Mr. Mike

Thank you so much for your comment... About the textures... I will left a few photos I take when I did the first tests of the figure. I would like present you the figure in 75mm, where you can see the textures very well... They are small, but they are there...

Has you can se they are there...

I would like to say thank you for your words. Im very happy... I push hard my team and I try to improve everyday. Sometime its difficult with the work in the hospital and RP start to be very big and sometimes its difficult to get all the places and please everyone. I try to please everyone and left always the people happy... But isnt easy... We are doing works for other companies, printings ... I like help and see everyone happy...

Thank you so much for belong to RPmodels family.

Great looking figure! Love the idea that RP models are interested in the American West...I am particularly fond of that era as well. So many great subjects...

Curley looks really well done.

Yes indeed, Hugo, the textures on the 75mm pieces are wonderfully effective and such
a joy to paint....they respond so well to a gentle stippling technique to 'age' and enhance
them. Keep 'em coming....

[David Spencer]

Excellent. Really very nice indeed.

Thanks for sharing
