Sapper of Foot Grenadiers 75mm Romeo (update)

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!
