Post subject:  G.I.JAC's WIP (UPDATE!)
Hello all,

here are some photos of a couple of projects I'm working on. The first is an homage to the '92 wild bill, wearing union colors. The second is my interpretation of an iron grenadier officer.

Lemme know what you think

good start on WB, The IG is pretty neat but I don't like the lower legs for him, needs something more regal looking like crimson guard boots or even his own

Just finished painting the IG officer, maybe needs a couple of touch ups here and there. Have to come up with a bio. Have also painted wild bill, his gloves are drying at the moment :-D . Currently working on his back pack.

As for the boots, I'm not sure I wanted to give him a Scottish highlander feel. what do you think now they're painted?

Personally, I like those boots, for the IG. Something about them just seems really pretentious, which is perfect for a group created and run by Destro.

I see Wild Bill went and got his hands screwed up. ;-) Having used Green Stuff myself, I've given up on it for most detail work, and certainly for trying to get a smooth even surface out of it. So, I'm that much more impressed by Bill.

Thanks for the feedback man, spent hours on these!

I like the IG guy. No comments needed.

The only issue with Wild Bill that I have is the part of the shirt that attaches on the figure's left. I know what style of shirt it is and how it fastens. The issue is that it curves under the breastbone and makes the upper and lower sections look like heavy padding.

Thanks for the feedback; I see what you mean with Bill and I kinda noticed it when sculpting, it should be flat like the crimson guardsmen, etc. Next time I'll get it right, I'm thinking on working on Charlie Prince from 3:10 to Yuma, he has a similar coat. For now let's pretend that he's got armor plating under there!

p.s. just wanted to highly recommend the hunter artworks tabula rasa torso and IG helm
