Confederate Soldiers in Comic Style: Set 1 + Blender Rig

This is a request from Woker. 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).

I am not sure how many of these I'll make, but I am calling this Collection 1:

• Benjamin (marching with rifle)
• Bill (hand on hip)
• Sam (cleaning rifle)

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.

Development Notes

Future Plans

I plan to release at least one more collection, as I've already made a civil-war style Remington revolver and holster.
