Custer converted

I managed to get some paint on these two today. Working with green stuff on 20mm figures was a little fiddly and took a bit longer than usual but the results were rewarding. The main stroke of luck was finding that 20mm gun fighter with the perfect head for Custer.

I found the gloves to be tricky so I built them up using Gel superglue, a trick I had learnt from making arrows for my Middle Earth armies.

Lieutenant Cooke’s pistol made from brush bristle and super glue looked great when painted up. This guy originally had an open hand for the standard go into.

I had originally painted the red neckerchief as going all the way around his head and hanging down the back of his buckskin jacket, but on further research, painted it so it was just coming out the front. It looks a lot better for it too.
