lazyschnauzer Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Here's the second The Old Contemptibles piece - Hope you like it!1916 2nd Bn. Seaforth Highlander, 10th Brigade, 4th Division, BEF in Mackenzie tartan cobbler in 120mm or 1/16th scaleAlternate head ? 1st Bn. Black Watch, 1st Brigade, 1st Division, BEF with government (black and green) tartan? Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) MK III 0.303 caliber rifle ? Small canvas haversack for carrying anti-gas PH helmets? M1914 leather field harness and ammo pouches and belt? Canvas musette bag and haversacks? M1902 khaki putties and brown half boots? M1908 khaki haversacks and entrenching tool helves? M1908 entrenching tool head in leather carrier and 2 pint water bottle covered with khaki cloth and leather webbing ? Wooden crate, leather cobbler?s tool satchel, cobbler?s toolsThe pink stuff is Super Sculpey just used for displaying things. I've included a "colored" photo of a portion of the original photo of Seaforth Highlander cobblers working in a circle. The original bxw photo was posted on the Great War Forum. The main difference in the photo and the figure is that the cobbler in the photo is wearing shorts, not a kilt. I decided to have the cobbler wear a kilt because I always wanted to try my hand at sculpting one, plus I thought the painters might enjoy painting it more than shorts. In this case you can complete the figure with the alternate head and paint the kilt the black and green "Government" tartan or you can use the head shown on the figure and complete the kilt in a Mackenzie plaid.Comments and constructive critique welcome!The kit will eventually be available for purchase at: http://www.milminwh.com/theoldcontemptibles.htmAll the best, Dan Edited March 23, 2008 by lazyschnauzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyschnauzer Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I forgot to include the photo of the cobbler. The original photo was a black and white, but it was colored using photoshop by one of the guys on Great War Forum. All the best,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Superb !Nice to see one of the "Ladies from Hell" in a less agressive pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyschnauzer Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks Gordon! I agree! I do aggressive poses too, but it's a change of pace to show soldiers being tradesmen, cooking, eating, darning socks, etc. Check out my blog...http://heroesonthewire.blogspot.com/ All the best,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
