ACW - CSA Cavalry 1st Lt. Alexis Mac Coy

Hi everyone,

Here's my second ACW custom bash

Savannah, GA, Summer 1863... Lt. Mac Coy looking away for a few minutes before leading his squad to the special mission that will make him a legend...











This figure is fictional. It is inspired by the comic strip series Mac Coy. His uniform is the one he's got in the first volume of the series. In the book, he wears a frock coat, but I've given him a shell jacket because I couldn't find a frock coat with officer trimming on the sleeves.





I used a Dragon body (Garret) on which I've modified the head by adding moustache with putty and a little bit repainted and weathered. I've put a slight layer of varnish, to make the head look a bit sweaty because of the summer heat. The white cloth protecting the neck from the sun is a piece of a used T-shirt of mine! I've added rank trimming on the collar by glueing DMC thread. The golves are dragon WW2 gloves repainted by a friend of mine to make them look like cavalry gauntlets.
