Searching for Rufus Dawes

Rufus Dawes of the 6th Wisconsin charges towards the railroad cut, every foot of ground costs another casualty!


After watching a  documentary on Gettysburg, I was rather taken with the exploits of the 6th Wisconsin and their brave commander, Rufus Dawes. 

I painted up a few good candidates but decided on a figure created from a Redoubt miniatures body and a Steve Barber head. The pose reminds me of the sequence where the regiment charges the railroad cut.


The Iron Brigade starts to bulk out with figures from multiple manufacturers.
