1/72 Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill Part 1
Date: April 23, 2010.
Hi:
I send you some picts about new work called "Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill".
This battle was the most famous of the Spanish American war. Teddy Roosevelt leads the chargue of the Rough-Riders and made his career politic.
Some aspect of these battle not much know:
-The lower number of the Spanish troops, with few ammunition for his two guns.
-The taking part of Buffalo soldiers and other units.
-The devastating effect of the Gatlings gun fire, advance of the horror on the WWI trenches.
Some words about this work: Many thanks to Julio Lahoz, you can see many miniatures painted by his hand.
The "Teddy rider figure" was converted from the Hat's Austrian curassier.
The "Teddy on foot figure" from the Hat's Gatling gun crew (The men with arms open)
The scenary and vegetation was made from scratch and one euro store.
Saludos a todos. Cheers.
