95th Rifleman


Here's my latest...

I've just finished the 1/9th scale resin bust of a 95th Rifleman from Wolfe; amazing sculpt!

I painted him using JoSonja acrylics as the undercoat, and oils. The biggest challenge was the green jacket since all the references I had described it as a rifle green or worsted green. I didn't have a clue what that color is, so I mixed a little cinnabar green with a sap green and then toned it down with a touch of white and just worked the midtones from there. I highlighted the jacket with light green and then added a touch more of cinnabar green for the shades.


Here's a close up of the face...

An amazing sculpt makes a for a tremendous canvas...

The scar on his left cheek is painted on...I used Hardy Tempst's technique that he described on Timelines. It adds a unique degree of character to his face...
