NEW RANGE “KEITH ROCCO”
Title: LEE’S MISERABLES
Ref.: SKR-001
Scale: 75mm
Material: Resin
Presenting the new range of figures in collaboration with the great historical artist Keith Rocco. The first figure is this confederate soldier based on his picture “Lee’s Miserables”. The sculpting was supervised by Mr Rocco himself who provided real equipment for references. The figure is produced in high quality resin on a 75mm scale.

Title comes from Tracey Power book which gives letters from regular troops concerning life in the army of northern Virginia through to Appomattox ...refreshing departure from romanticized stuff or dull recitations of campaigns..to me the figure looks a bit too romantic, but then it’s based on a painting...

Hopefully a lot of good may come from this. Keith Rocco's done some superb stuff down the years, this is really promising.

Bit too romantic but good artist..and accuracy generally good

Hopefully many more Confederates will follow!

Could be good series..and rather interesting: meanings have shifted over the years..may be simplistic, but figure painting is at its most basic
An homage to the mud crunchers who did their jobs ..and need not be loaded with subsequent injections of ex contemporaneous politics

In looking about, found some research that union soldiers tended to big facial hair over southern...especially officers..yet we tend to see the reverse in modelling
