Hello Everybody,

I send pictures of a french fusilier with the helmet of 1791.

Can you tell if is tin, plastic or other material ?

I'm waiting for your answers.

Hi,
I am guessing that this could be a customised figure, as the straps and presumably backpack appear to be separate items. The coattails also indicate that this is not a single casting, typical of metal figures. The weight should give you an idea of the basic composition of the parts. There is also resin material and paper.

Hello Blaster,
You're near good. In fact it's paper card figure. I used miliput to give a better 3d for few pieces. it's 1/30 figure about 6 cm. What do you think about the style and the build. Wrong or good criticisms are welcome. The goal is to progress and do better and better.

Hello beating retreat,
Thanks for your answer.

You're near good. It's not wood, it's papercard model.

What do you think about the quality ?

Your answers and others are important for me because I want create some figures but it's necessary for my to correct the default that you can find.

Bien le bonjour cher cousin et merci pour ta réponse,

Yes it's a paper card model (sheet paper A4 - 21/29,7 cm and 190 grammes)
I want to create many more : Independence War, French Revolution, Civil war, indian wars, colonies wars, 1870,WW1 and WW2. The scale will be 1/30 or 6cm like this soldier.

it's a 90% paper card model. The canon of the rifle is plastic card and there are sticks of metal on the sides of the helmet the gold V (one by side).
I used miliput to give an 3d aspect for a few pieces but the base is paper : for example : Rucksack.

Hi Valmy,

Very very good work!
Why, may I ask, use (in my opinion) such a difficult medium in such a relatively small scale?

Hello Blaster,
Thanks for your compliment.
I wantto create my soldiers and see if people are interested in them. After, I hope to sell some of them but it's an other story.

Possibly one of the most impressive feats of scratch building I’ve seen in a while.
