Hi folks

Digging into the patiently waiting GA ...over 5 years !

A US Continental Marine here's the link to the late Geoff Charmans version with pre '79 white facings http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/awi-continental-marine-1775.252209/

Facings changed to red in 1779 ...reason unsure I believe

Currently basecoated ,added the upper tape on the headwear Needed to sort out the eyes by reworking the surface

untouched



Basecoated



Quick reference



Original box art by Gerrard



Stay tuned

Happy benchtime
