Confederate Soldiers in Comic Style: Set 2 + 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).

This is Collection 2:

• Sam (hard march with rifle up)
• Rob (at ease)
• Fred (soluting)

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.

Changes since Collection 1:

• The hat is smaller (x0.85), and hair is pushed to fit into hat (I plan to backport this change to Collection 1).
• Rob is new (husky, and has revolver).
• Fred is new (has sideburns).
