A Fixture
This was an experiment to see if I could paint a figure in one day or less. He was cleaned and primed two days ago. At the same time, the base was stained and the ground work was done. Arms were added and painting began at 7:00 pm on New Year’s Eve. The last touch up was done at 6:30 PM on New Year’s Day. Okay, so I don’t watch parades and bowl games on New Year’s Day.
The figure is Michael Roberts’ 54mm Virginia Regiment 1754, typical of the troops who would have been led the young Washington. The kit included a length of braided wire to make the cords holding the canteen and bedroll. I drilled a hole through the bed roll and two set holes on the side of the canteen for the “cord.” I added the musket strap from some leftover foil from my last project.
