US Cavalry Trooper 1876 120mm Little Big Horn.

This is a project that has been on my workbench since January. The original pattern was sculpted by Graham Sutch and I have made a few personal preference changes. I will attach the bottom of the rifle sling and swivel clip in the future. I have still got to sort out the flag, whether to enclose a printed paper flag or pewter foil or sculpt one. I think I know what you may all want as a preference, maybe I could have your opinions about this? I often find that sculpted flags are too thick and out of scale and sculpting one is going to be a nightmare! Hope you all like it, I look forward to your comments.

All the best,

Rob.

Great figure Rob. Couldn't you not go down the photoetched route for the flag?

Just found this figure and I think its a great figure. Pity it was hidden down in the sculpting threads.
Will you have this at Euro Rob as I think this could be on my Euro list.
Agree with Carl, perhaps a photoetched flag.

Thanks Carl and Don for your comments. Never delved with photo etched parts before and it might be worthwhile making some enquiries. Will start to paint one next week so hopefully ready for Euro!
