This kit was given to me as a gift a month or so ago. The maker is Chronos Miniatures. I'm thinking it depicts an Iroquois who "came across" the uniform of a British soldier. 1755 was a year into the French and Indian War, The Iroquois territory was mainly in upstate NY, so that's where I'm placing this figure.
The first quest that arises is looking at the box art. This shows the uniform jacket a bright yellow with a red inside lining. Doing a search for British uniforms, all of them, as one would expect, since their called "Red Coats" was that the red on the outside and yellow was the inside. Now some of their lapels were white, or blue, but since there's yellow on the example, a version of yellow is what I'm going with.
I thought could it be possible that it was a French uniform? But looking all of those were white, gray, or blue coats. I found this image and decided this is what I was going with.
So I started out with a black and white primer on most all the parts. The Indian was given a Cavalry Red primer. After that I added the first highlight -
While that was drying I started thinking about the base. The provided base was a piece of ground with the stump of a tree. With the piece of wood I found, I got a piece of rigid foam and started to carve.
With that I was out of time. Check back for the next session.
