"Looking for a recommendation: Colonel Vincent" Topic

I'm wondering if anyone had a good figure recommendation for Strong Vincent. Ideally something very Little Round Top. I certainly appreciate any help,
Dave

What Scale?

His project is in 28mm size.

Thanks, yes- 25/28mm.

Dave,

If you are looking for a Vincent on foot that's easy!!! Sash and Saber has an officer model pulling his sword out of his scabbard. It is in the Iron Brigade line. Here's a link to the picture of the pack:

The model is the top row, second from left.

Okay now… if you look at a picture of the 83rd Penn's monument at Gettysburg (on Little Round top) you will see almost the same exact pose of Strong Vincent himself. All you need to do is do a head swap and give the new head a Forage cap or Kepi, bushy side burns and you are done. The model has high boots just like the statue and everything! Vincent used to command that regiment before he was given brigade command. After the war the old veterans wanted to honor him so they sculpted him on top of their regimental monument.

Use this link to look it over:

Boy, that was easy. You should have just emailed me straight away. :)

"Who ever saw a dead cavalryman?"

Strong Vincent would have worn the double breasted frock coat of a field grade office. Not the single as worn by the company grade officers pictured above.

Yes, double but… it is as close as you can get. Besides, Dave is pretty good with 'fixin' things up like that if need be. :)

Hey wait! I just double checked that officer model in question. I have several of them. It _IS_ double breasted even though it doesn't look like in in the S&S photo. Done! :)
