Imrie-Risley 54mm F&IW Royal Roussillon Fusilier
Here he is - based on a Warmachine 40mm round base I just picked up from The Game Matrix today.
Highlighting has been added after the Minwax stain. The face was given a little detail work too, but otherwise, this 54mm figure was painted and based pretty much the way I do 28mm figures.
As I mentioned in the previous post, I've had this figure for many years and recently stripped the original paint work (done when I was a kid) and repainted it using the methods I use for 28mm figures now.
The Royal Roussillon Regiment's second battalion participated in most of the major engagements in the French and Indian War. Several other regiments sent their respective second battalions to "New France" for the service during the war.
As you can see the basic load for infantrymen hasn't changed much over the centuries.

Beautiful work Dean - your painting on these bigger figures is great!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy. I've always been fearful of painting large models.
ReplyDeleteBoth he and the German below look very nice.
I hope you paint a bunch of the Conquest models you mentioned.

ReplyDeleteAwesome bro, simply awesome!
ReplyDeleteTakes me back a few years, I remember this range of figures being advertised in Military Modelling when I was a teen. Thank god we don't have to use artists oils to paint larger figures these days.
ReplyDeleteRegards HGA.

Another great job at bring an old fig back to life Dean!
ReplyDeleteSuperb painting Dean. He looks like a real infantryman too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments everyone. Truly appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteHGA: You're right on that - originally he was painted up with enamels and oils - like Humbrol and Testors, etc. I grew up with the fumes of modelling cement and thinner.
Warmest Regards to All, Dean
