WIP Officier, Garde Nationale De Paris, 1791 (update 2)

[MarquisMini]

Hello Planeteers!.
Here's some more progress pics of my National garde officer.
the coat lights and shadows are done,some outlining too,just few dettails to go over.
the arms finally decided to change the smoking pipe arm and added an arm which will be holding a walking stick, i really like the pose and i am happy with it.
the arms are basecoated only,still need lights and shadows.
Once i finish the figure i will post all the mixes.
Best regards

Hi Daniel,
You are supposed to be; polishing your shoes, pressing your clothes and writing your wedding speech. Not painting figures!!!
But good work here on this piece Mate.
Cheers,
Keith

Thanks Colin!
I am happy withthe blue , turn out to be the right mix for me,unfortunatelly books and sources on internet have so many variations of the colors that at the end one has to decide which one to choose from.
Recipee from the chef's kitchen :
Base: a drop of citadel Necron Abyss , a drop of Prince August "Bleu Moyen" (vallejo medium blue) and a dab of Andrea Navy Blue (NAC-11)
Lights: Base + bleu moyen,last lights added a litle bit of dark sky blue.
shadows: base plus Navy blue,last shadows used only a drop of navy blue and 4 drops of distilled water.
Outlining of the coat used pure black.
Cheers my friend.

Lol, thanks mate. It's been 4 years living together and a beautiful 3 Y.O. daughter, so this is just fomalizing and a lot of joy doing it.
I keep buying miniatures and paints with my own bank account hehe

Every man needs a secret stash of "Fun Money" to stay sane and independant... good job mate
