Completed Australian infantryman, 1942 (Cheshire Volunteer, 54mm)

[Edward]

Hi all, I had fun painting this vintage figure of a soldier from the 7th Australian Division on the Kokoda Trail in New Guinea, 1942. Although it's an old figure - released in the late 80s I think - the casting was very good. I used a mix of Vallejo and Andrea acrylics. Thanks for looking!

Nice work, Edward. Those Cheshire Volunteer figures were excellent. I have a couple in my grey army.

That is an outstanding paint job, Edward. Figure & groundwork blend together extremely well.

Great job. I’ve never seen this figure before but you’ve nailed it.

Terrific work.. I am always impressed when a picture of a 54mm figure is blown up to 200mm and still looks amazing... The Cheshire Volunteer figures were very well detailed and I'm glad to say I have a few in my possession.
Again stunning work.

 

[Edward]

Thanks for the kind comments - much appreciated!

Cheshire volunteers were great figures, Alex Williams if my memory serves me correctly?
