Sash mostly done. Boots too. Need to swing back to get his breeches, inner white boot cuffs, gloves etc.
Boots were sponge painted and ink washed.

The boots look really good, black without actually being painted black, very effective.

Thanks Simon. Boots were based Green Grey with some Naples Yellow mixed in. Then washed with sepia ink. Once dry I sponged them with varying mixes of the base with more and more Naples Yellow added for highlights. Then sepia ink again. The sepia ink I was using veers toward black rather than green or brown.

Thanks Nap.
I need to get back to my Borodino flat vignette. I have a couple of things in the mail. I just ordered Perry’s new 28mm Duellists vignette and I’m looking forward to that (see below). I have a whole fleet of Alexandros’ Napoleonic busts to paint. Anf then there’s the rest of the grey army.

He is really taking shape and coming together. Really like the effect you've used on his boots, makes them look well worn and used

Thanks Melanie. I hate painting subtle transitions so a sponge is a god send.
Added his crop. Just need to do his gloves, waist coat, add his sword and do the dreaded groundwork. And general clean up of course.
Hi Colin
Love the result , that goldwork really does make this special to view , interesting you used a green grey base on boots , certainly works with the inks
Looking forward to seeing the final updates on this
Those Perry’s do look good and will be fun to paint , there’s a great thread with lots of wargamers artwork in it ...so feel free to add anything https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/little-wars-fine-artwork-from-wargamers.680039/
Happy benchtime

Just added his sword (still needs paint). Just needs clean up and groundwork. Taking my time here as this is where I usually rush and reduce quality.

Looking good, though I would suggest a little adjustment to the sword knot to take gravity into account. You probably already had that in mind though.

Thanks Simon. Not really as it’s in contact with and resting against the hummock. I ain’t messing with it at this point.

You have certainly cracked on with the figure Colin, lovely painting on the braid. It's a real painters figure.

Thanks Bob. Yes I enjoyed this one. Not enjoying the groundwork. I never do….I suck at groundwork.
Hi Colin
Good update on this fellow , looking good with the sword in place
As Bob said ref the braid ......particularly that sash ...really shows the Napoleonic period well
Looking forward to seeing more
Have fun @ the bench

Done except clean up. I’ll do a separate completed post with additional pics. Thanks again to Nap for giving me a heads up on this limited edition figgie on FB.

One final thing I should have added earlier. So much thought went into producing this figure. For example, Riccardo included three (yes 3) cast spurs on the sprue because: (1) it cost him nothing extra to do it and (2) he knew there was a high probability that many modellers would lose at least one somewhere in the process of removing them and gluing them on (a perfect prediction in my case).
I love this level of foresight and consideration from a maker.
