    Hi Folks,

    Over two visits to the El Greco shop I bought the three La Meridiana ‘Lewis and Clark’ figures, and subsequently a base from the same figure company, which I have adapted to make the figures fit.
    Unlike the original white metal figures, these are all resin.
    Painting is my usual oils, enamels and acrylics (the latter particularly for the water area).
    The water is Woodlands Scenics, and I used the basic, ripples and waves elements of the range.
    Apologies for any focus errors, but there can be quite a bit of depth of field to capture.

    The following photo shows the adjustments to the base together with an initial look at how the figures fitted.

    Hope you like it.

    I like it, The Lewis and Clark Expedition has long been a favorite historical subject of mine. I'm trying to drive out the whole journey piecemeal. Your figure reminds me of a sculpture in South Dakota of her. It's 50 ft. tall. Nice painting done.
