WIP Young Guard ( Tirailleur ) - Plancenoit 1815 - Part 2

[smudger1960]

I'ts been a long time since my last post on this project,had quite a lot of personel problems to deal with which took priority over figure painting,however I've managed to overcome most of these and regained my mojo for painting again,however due to the fact I wasn't painting and modeling at all it did cross my mind to give it up completely,but when you've been doing something you love for more than 30 years I found it hard to turn my back on it.
Anyway,ive managed to complete quite abit more since my last posting,but its a long way from being finished,but I thought i'd add the update pictures anyway.
I have laid some acrylic base colours to the knapsack,these I will finish on the next session with oils and washes.



Many thanks for looking and your continued support.

Nice to see you back Brian and he's starting to look suitably battle worn.

Glad to hear you're weathering the storm Brian.
He looks great but is he a bit old for a tirailleur? (Not saying he is.I don't know.)

Great result, it would be so sad to give up, such a lovely painting style. I know myself what means to have so less time for the hobby but no, Sir, you must not give up.
Warm congrats!
