American Independence War Minuteman 1775 75mm (Completed)

Here it is the complete work on this beautiful figure!!
I loved working on it... probably one of the figures that I most
liked to work on... and I'm very proud of the final result, specially
because I've gone to a color scheme a little unusual for what we are used
to see in this subject and, of course, the terrain, that despite started being
close to the art box grew to something else.
The Base is homemade, with the name plate that comes with the figure, which is very very
nice!! If more figures had this it would be great!!!
All in acrylics as usual, Andrea and Vallejo.
SOLD!!
I think I have said more than enough, so now I show the pics

Hope you like it.

Minuteman 1775 75mm (update)

A new update on the progress of this figure. It's close the end, only the acessories left to paint, hands and metal parts (buttons, buckles).
Then it's ready to attatch to the terrain previous made.

Hi,

Along some time I've been working on this figure. Since last post I've made some progress: Colpack braid, straps, some gear... I miss the almost all metallics, axe, fix the rifle and the ground... Also I believe that I have to work the straps a little more... add lights and shadows here and there. But it's getting near the end.

Minuteman 1775 75mm

Another figure that I have on my bench right now, it's a minuteman of the American War of Independence. It's a limited edition, sculpted by Maurizio Bruno. It's a simple but very beautifull figure that allows many different colours schemes.
I wanted to make a nice terrain for base and ended up with a autumn look, with some birch trees.
The figure is in progress.

Hello!

After some time without posting anything I bring now a nice figure from Pegaso Models. The figure is very well sculpted, great pose, nice set up. The only low point is that isn't really 75mm but 70mm from foot to eye... which compared to Maurizio Bruno figures looks small... But despite that I recommend it!
To the pics:

 

 

 

The base is homemade and because of a flaw on the wood a little knock on it and breaked beautifully allowing me to do this terrain. The figure includes the ancient Egypt column I just extended it down.

It's already painted.

The trousers are painted or almost done (and yes they are glossy, I have to make them matt). The face is also complete without the possibility of being aim of my attention later on. The air is something that I'm not satisfied...some more work needed.

Hope you like it!
