WIP Critique 1st conversion 54mm

    Hi!

    I am trying to convert one original figure from El Viejo Drágon in 54mm (US Infantry) into a Portuguese soldier of 8th regiment of Castelo De Vide, one of the most beautiful places of Portugal.
    This infantry regiment took part in Penisular war. I will use this figure as an infantryman in Fuentes D´Onõro battle in May 1811 when this regiment was attached to the 6th Infantry Division - Major General Alexander Campbell - 5,250 men - consists of 9 battalions, 4 from Portuguese army with more than 300 KIA.

    I used a dremmel to remove the webbing of the original figure. As you see the torso was done, only miss the leggings that I will sculpt late this week.
    Last photo is a drawing of the uniform of this regiment.
    What you think?

    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    Thank you Colin!

    I made a basic error in the sculpture of the backpack straps that Vitalino noticed and told me.
    In this moment everything is correct!
