Confederate Soldier in Comic Style: Mounted General + Blender Rig

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

This is a request from Woker. These characters are inspired by the cartoons of Zhang Xing (the cartoonist--see https://miniaturasmilitaresalfonscanovas.blogspot.com/2015/08/los-soldados-nordistas-en-la-guerra-de.html; as opposed to the other Zhang Xing who is a painter; See also https://miniaturasmilitaresalfonscanovas.blogspot.com/2015/08/los-soldados-sudistas-en-la-guerra-de.html which I didn't use as a reference but which has question about the comic's origin).
There are 6 other models so far in this style in my Soldiers in Zhang Xing Comic Style collection.
The scale is 1/60, as each character is approximately 1/60 of 6 feet high (30.48mm), not including the hat and the 3mm base.
The horse shape is slightly less exaggerated so it is more practical, but he legs are thicker.
