Confederate Soldier in Comic Style: Mounted General + Blender Rig

thingiverse

This is a request from Woker. These characters are inspired by the cartoons of Zhang Xing, the cartoonist. They can be seen at miniaturasmilitaresalfonscanovas.blogspot.com/2015/08/los-soldados-nordistas-en-la-guerra-de.html; as opposed to the other Zhang Xing who is a painter. The other Zhang Xing's work can be seen at miniaturasmilitaresalfonscanovas.blogspot.com/2015/08/los-soldados-sudistas-en-la-guerra-de.html, but it was not used as a reference because it raises questions about the comic's origin. There are 6 other models in this style in my Soldiers in Zhang Xing Comic Style collection. The scale is 1/60, with each character being approximately 30.48mm tall, not including the hat and the 3mm base. The horse shape is slightly less exaggerated to make it more practical, but its legs are thicker. ## Reference Photos - Civil War U.S. Colt Special Model 1861 Contract Rifle-Musket can be seen at rockislandauction.com/detail/76/223/civil-war-us-colt-special-model-1861-contract-riflemusket. - Remington Army Revolver from historicalarms.com/civil-war-guns-revolvers-pistols-for-sale.html. - CIVIL WAR ERA SHAKO & KEPI HATS at liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/62264442_civil-war-era-shako-and-kepi-hats. - Confederate General at a Civil War Reenactment can be seen at alamy.com/stock-photo-confederate-general-at-a-civil-war-reenactment-40233106.html. - McClellan Saddle #Confederate Variants in the Civil War at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McClellan_saddle#Confederate_variants_in_the_Civil_War. ## License - Creative Commons - Attribution - Share-Alike (CC BY-SA 3.0) by gkhellas (horse only) and Poikilos (everything else, and posing horse). - The horse is Cartoon Horse Bank by gkhellas at thingiverse.com/thing:3396496.
