Thank you for a touching post. In times of violence and hatred, it is important to strengthen ties between good people in all places.
This is an absolute work of artHello everyone.
We have created a new miniature from scratch, the U. S. Cavalry Officer, a character of the Western film "Fort Apache".

Love Melvill saving the colour vignette. Nice work on this set.
Here is latest Attica figure received.
I wanted an relatively authentic Cavalry trooper from around 1876.
the sculpt itself has some drawbacks, but overall Attica's artists did a GREAT job.
The figure does not have a correct hat for 1876, although the soldier could have purchased his own privately.
His carbine barrel is a little short, or the forestock is a little too long?
He's missing a few things on the saddle. his pistol holster seems slightly big. And his cartridge belt. It has an open buckle which would indicate an 1876 Prairie belt, or maybe an un common Hazen belt.
But troopers in most of 1876 wore Fairweather type modified belts with the solid buckle from the earlier sword belts.
So I have this guy painted with a woven tan 1876 prairie belt, and will go with a trooper in the field in late 1876 or 1877. maybe even later. with a later issue campaign hat.
Either way, the artists at Attica did a fabulous job!!!
