Brigade Commander
US Forces in the Spanish American War
c.1898
Here is a group of 12 figures put together over the last six months or so.
Used some images from the internet and some of the images on the Osprey reference books. I’m not claiming that they are perfect renditions, but as a group gives a feel of what the US forces looked like during the Spanish American War in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phillipines. For parts the bulk of the SAW specific parts are from BGT. Nude bodies are from DML and the HS are from DML, DID and anything else that was in my parts box. The hats are from BGT, pith helmet from Tony Barton and most others from Steve O Toys. I really like Steve’s hats as they have some heft to them. Just getting used to them, but hope to use them for other 19th century figures in the future.
Here some individual images:
State Militia Infantryman
Infantry Bugler
Infantry Corporal
Infantry Sergeant
Infantry Major
Infantry Private
Artillery Sergeant
Trooper, 10th Cavalry
Infantry Captain
Cavalry Captain
Navy Petty Officer, shore duty.
Seaman, shore duty
