    Just completed this one, a sculpt by Mike Blank. Beautiful figure and great pose. I have painted him as a 2nd Lt of 4th US infantry, 5 corps, Army of the Potomac, 1863.
    Painted in acrylics and oil for the face.
    Thanks for looking.

    Thank you all for the comments, glad you like him.
    Nap The colours used were
    For the frock coat : Base coat, Scalecolor Deep blue with a touch of black. Highlight is a AK interactive blue tank crew base added to the base coat, then AK interactive blue tank crew base with a touch scalecolor violet as a lighter highlight.
    The trousers were AK interactive blue tank crew lights with field blue added.
    I am lucky that I have a swatch of cloth used to make the trousers for living historians of the ACW. The corp badge is one I brought from the States,when over there for 150th Cedar Creek
    re enactment.

    As always I appreciate your comments Ken, thank you. As for the corp badge, I had this from a sutler in the US.

    Bob, it's excellent mate. Your handling of those blues is better BB King.(y)

    In fact, the highest compliment I can pay is that having seen this, I really fancy that figure now!

    Very nicely realized figure Bob, beautiful painting. A little less contrasting to my taste, but still hilarious. Moreover, the degree of contrast is a matter of personal perspective :). The terrain on the pedestal is great. As a whole really well done :)

    Cheers Borek ;)
