Confederate Soldiers in Comic Style: Set 1 + Blender Rig

thingiverse

This is a request from [Woker]([Woker](https://www.thingiverse.com/Woker/about)). 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). I am not sure how many of these I'll make, but I am calling this Collection 1: - Benjamin (marching with rifle) - Bill (hand on hip) - Sam (cleaning rifle) 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 Blender rig is ok, but has some trouble in places. I post-processed the meshes to remove distortions, and in some cases used accessories from the non-posed version. ## Reference photos (not used directly): - [Civil War U.S. Colt Special Model 1861 Contract Rifle-Musket](https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/76/223/civil-war-us-colt-special-model-1861-contract-riflemusket) - Remington Army Revolver from <https://historicalarms.com/civil-war-guns-revolvers-pistols-for-sale.html> - [CIVIL WAR ERA SHAKO & KEPI HATS](https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/62264442_civil-war-era-shako-and-kepi-hats) ## License - [Creative Commons - Attribution - Share-Alike](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/) (CC BY-SA 3.0) - by Poikilos ## Development Notes ### Future Plans I plan to release at least one more collection, as I've already made a civil-war style Remington revolver and holster. ### Time 2019-12-22 - 11:47 start - ~18:40 - 19:00 dinner break - 20:36 - ~21:58 break to work on wiki page - 1:39 - finished post-processing
