Alpine Miniatures - CSA, 5th Texas Infantry Regiment, 1863

Though I have never been keen on the subject of the American Civil War, I do admire the art of Don Troiani and Keith Rocco. Thus when the opportunity was presented by Taesung Harmms to paint this Mike Good sculpt for the box art, I could not resist - especially the challenge to render a ornamental carpet bed roll. It might surprise some you folks out there that the uniform was rendered with colors taken from my WW2 German Uniform set from AK Interactive. Watch this space as I will publish the colour recipes for the Confederate uniform.



As you can see below, the figure in in bare resin. 


Cheers,

Calvin

Alpine Miniatures - 5 RTR, North Africa 1942

This a preview of a figure that I have painted as a sample for my upcoming workshop at the 2022 World Model Expo in Eindhoven on July 3. This 4-hour long workshop is principally tailored for beginners - in which I will explain the foundational concepts and demonstrate my technique of painting with acrylic paints in the simplest way possible.  Unfortunately as of this time of writing, the tickets are completely sold out. For those who are lucky to secure a place, this teaser should set a benchmark of what you can set to achieve. 



Cheers,
