US Cavalry Indian Scout "Curley"

    Hello

    Today, we present a new figure, in a new series... Old West Series...

    Little Big Horn and Custer's Last Stand is one of those stories that always brings us imagination... Custer had several Indian scouts with him, from the Crow Tribe, from which Curley stands out. Curley was one of the most famous scouts and is rumored to be in the Last Stand of Custer. Is it a rumor, is it a myth? It's difficult to prove, as according to historical records the only survivor was a horse.

    Love this one, think I'll have to pick one up. Those fabric textures look incredible.

    You mention a "new series". Any plans for a 7th Cavalry figure or two, to go with it?

    Agree with Steve about the textures....they show more clearly on the large scale
    pieces. They're more subtle on the 75mm versions but still work well with some
    nifty work with the paint brush. Super tempted by this one - like his other work
    it's a gem......

    PS Looks like this one was inspired by James Bama's painting...

I try to please everyone and left always the people happy... But isnt easy... We are doing works for other companies, printings ... I like help and see everyone happy...

    Great looking figure! Love the idea that RP models are interested in the American West...I am particularly fond of that era as well. So many great subjects...

    Curley looks really well done.

    Yes indeed, Hugo, the textures on the 75mm pieces are wonderfully effective and such
    a joy to paint....they respond so well to a gentle stippling technique to 'age' and enhance
    them. Keep 'em coming....:happy:

    Hi Hugo

    Great to see RP releases, despite your other commitments, you strive to release the best possible

    A really good subject , all have said regarding textures and details ....always the same with RP ....

    Each new one gets better

    This will make a great 1/12th bust as seen and with both flesh and textures to enjoy no matter what scale

    Thanks for sharing
