Old Indian Scout Bust by Fin McGechie

Hello again to all that take time to look at my Blog.

This post is slightly different than usual as the model is not from a well known company, rather,  this bust of an Old Indian Scout being sculpted by my brother Fin McGechie and obviously painted by myself.
This is his first offering on the sculpting front and has several others on the workbench etc and a couple waiting for me to paint.

The bust itself is slightly larger than 1/9 scale I would guess and needed not much cleanup.
The look tried for was the weary, battle worn,  rough and ready Old Indian Scout.

Anyone interested in acquiring a copy of the bust please do contact me, the price will be very reasonable depending on the amount of takers.

Any comments or questions are most welcome.

Thanks again  Michael.

1/9th Colonel Munro from Last of the Mohicans Mitches Military Models

Here we go with the 2nd Bust from The Last of the Mohicans trio of Busts from Mitches Military Models.
Holidays and lack of motivation have held this up, but here we go with the finished product, Magua will be next, maybe.
All done in Acrylics and any comments or questions are most welcome.
Thanks  for looking,  Michael.

1/9th Hawkeye Bust from Mitches Military Models Last of the Mohicans

I bought this at the Perth Model show along with the other 2 busts that go with it, namely  Colonel Munro and Magua both as good quality as this one.
This is,  hopefully noticeably,  meant to be Daniel Day Lewis as Hawkeye from the Last of the Mohicans film.

This is the third Bust I have painted and now feel I am beginning to get a feel for them.

It was painted with Acrylics and I hope to get started on the other 2 soon, unless I start another project.

Thanks for looking and any comments or questions are most welcome.

100mm Fort Duquesne Miniatures ACW Private 42nd Pennsylvania "The Bucktails" 1864

Here we have my latest model, a Private from the 42nd Pennsylvania Volounteer Infantry regiment " The Bucktails" in 100mm from Fort Duquesne models.
This regiment was raised in Northern Pennsylvania in April 1861 by Thomas L. Kane and accepted as a part of Governer Curtin's Pennsylvania Reserves for a 3 year service. The regiment went to Federal service in August 1861.
The regiment received Sharps rifles on August 10 1862, these being replaced in early 1864 by Spencer repeaters.
Two companies are known to have carried Spencers as early as Gettysburg.
The Bucktail badge was introduced early on and usually was nothing more than a strip of deer hide.

Thanks for looking and any questions or comments are welcome.

Thanks Michael.
