    This was and still is a great figure, you made a good job already, better than mine :
    it was also one of the first figure I painted 40 years ago, all Humbrol and sepia ink along the edges and drum cords

    Yes., I love the old Nostalgic figures. Yours looks like it came right out of a book from those days:)

    Great start. I like the variation between the whites of the uniform and the apron and other gear. The drummer has stood the test of time. I always liked the old Valiant series and I have a few still tucked away in my GGA including the drummer.

    Yes. I still have the old catalog. I think these were a inspiration to all of us.

    Happy Modeling

    I am tempted to get someting similar after seeing this veteran
    casting, I also found a pic of Shep painting it.

    I see that Art Girona have a similar drummer and accompanying figures that could make a nice group.
    I'm hoping you really enjoy finishing him and thanks for sharing your work.

    Thank you. I saw this figure on ebay. I must have looked at that picture and the box art a million tines. It was one of the figures in his diorama book.

    Wonderful to see these vintage figures again, well done, sir. I have an old Berdan's Sharpshooter from 40 years ago, and the detail still stands well up against some modern offerings. My painting, not so much:LOL:
