Here is Stormtroopers Miniature’ 1/9 bust of an Iroquois as sculpted by Carl Reid. The warrior is depicted shortly after the defeat of General Braddock on the Monongahela in his expedition to capture Fort Duquesne, now known as Pittsburgh in 1755. The general was mortally wounded and his column took heavy casualties. The raiders, from a variety of tribes allied to the French, looted the abandoned supply train and casualties. Many took the coats as prizes and wore them proudly. In this case, the figure’s coat shows the colors of the 44th Regiment of Foot. He is painted primarily in Vallejo acrylics. The gorget was first covered in Bare Metal Foil then toned down with various washes. The base is cherry wood from Birch Tree Enterprises of Long Island.

Cracking job Al.

Carl

Very nice paintwork all round

Beautiful work...I grew up just minutes away from where this battle took place (now a steel mill!!!).

Beautifully finished, Al! I really like how the face came out, with his war paint. Will we get to see this in person at Valley Forge in May?

Prost!
Brad

Thanks, everyone. Yes, Brad, he should be at MFCA.
