First Build - 95th Rifles Homage
« on: May 12, 2020, 04:55 PM »
Howdy!

I am beginning my first build and want to put the following concept out here for advice and opinions.

This kit would be classified as Light or Medium, and I plan for the paint scheme to be similar to that of the 95th Rifles uniform pictured below. (Fun fact: the Sharpe series stars Sean Bean in a non-dying role!)

Would this idea go against any rules or standards that would prevent it being approved? It will be modified to fit the style of Modern Armor and general Star Wars feel.

Thanks for any and all input!

He didn't die in National Treasure, either!

Love the green kit, always made more sense than the lobsters.

as a former member of the silver bugle club, we the few, the proud, the chosen men

look up a band called Forlorn Hope and John Tams who played Daniel Hagman

Howdy All!

Been a while since I followed up on this. Recent purchase and move into new house delayed WIP for a bit.

Here are some sketches of my proposed color scheme and flak vest design. The good folks in the Bes'uliik Clan have been very helpful and supportive.



Looking forward to getting supplies to begin a full WIP post.

I don't understand exactly what's on the thigh plates, but this is a really cohesive color scheme.  This is a nicely prepped kit design, keep up the great work!

It is my poor drawing attempt at some of the frogging designs seen on Napoleonic uniforms. See earlier inspiration pictures

"Chosen men?! I didn't choose you" one of the greatest lines ever.  I'm a huge fan of sharpe. Fantastic idea for inspiration.
