I just got an email from Bill and attached were these photos of his latest creation. Here is the email and photos:

Guy,



I wanted to share the attached photos with the folks on the Planet. This is an Austrian Gemeiner of the 59th Infantry Regiment during the 1848-49 campaign in Italy. The rifle is an Austrian Lorenz – a slightly modified Shenandoah Springfield.

Excellent work as usual Bill!

Barry

He got blue jeans??.......great figure!!

ER

Interesting figure from an interesting period of European history, and VERY well done as usual, Bill !

I see you discovered the history of the unification of Italy as well - any chance you'll do some figures of the battles of Solferino etc . ?

Excellent Bill

Can't believe you've done this figure in such a short space of time!!!!

Do you ever take a break?

Rob

Yes, Rob of course I take breaks. Last week I took a break to make 20 Franco Prussian War spare parts! Seriously, when I get on one of these motivation/enthusiasm rolls like I am right now, I need to ride it out. This is when I do some of my best work.

Bill

Glad you're on a roll right now! Good news for all of us!

I think I suffer from burnout on projects, and it could be as short a time frame as you take to complete a figure.......maybe why I never finish a project (or rarely, anyway). Think I need to organise myself more!

If it comes out too "olivey" its becauser my damn oven can't hold a constant temperature. I put the figure in my oven at 170 degrees fahrenheit (about 75C?) to speed up the drying time, but my oven temp wanders between 140-220!.
