Confederate Soldiers in Comic Style: Set 2 + 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). This is Collection 2: - Sam (hard march with rifle up) - Rob (at ease) - Fred (soluting) 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. ## License - [Creative Commons - Attribution - Share-Alike](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/) (CC BY-SA 3.0) - by [Poikilos](https://www.thingiverse.com/poikilos) ([poikilos.org](https://poikilos.org)) ## Changes since Collection 1: - The hat is smaller (x0.85), and hair is pushed to fit into hat (I plan to backport this change to Collection 1). - Rob is new (husky, and has revolver). - Fred is new (has sideburns). ## 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) - [Armory Replicas American Civil War Calvary Sabre Sword](https://www.amazon.com/American-Civil-Calvary-Sabre-Sword/dp/B00LNG2MZG) - [Etrading CSA Cavalry Confederate Saber Civil War Officer Sword Replica Costume](https://www.amazon.com/Etrading-Cavalry-Confederate-Officer-Replica/dp/B000E5U24K) ## Development Notes ### Time 2019-12-23 - ~15:20 start collection 2 (starting from blend file from Collection 1) - 16:45-16:55 break - 16:55-17:25 make sabre and scabbard - 17:30-17:40 touch up sabre and final Fred mesh
