I'm going to take the liberty of replying to my own post.
a) I've looked at the face on this figure and it looks awful, I've gone back and hopefully corrected some of it's shortcomings. Panda eyes etc.
b) I'm not going to take such close up photo's anymore :lol:

Hi Roger
I "love" close up photos. When I think I am ready with painting the figure and I made some close up photos for pf or another forum and then I have a look at this photos it is always the same :angry: :angry: :angry:
And I had many to correct. So I know what you feel

Hi Roger,
for me as a Bavarian it is great to see that a Englishman made a bavarian Cavalry man.
The "Schwere Reiter" "Heavy Riders" were the Currasirs of the Bavarian Army and regarded as the elite of the bavarian Cavalry. In Munich there is still a "Schwere Reiter Strasse", the street were the baracs of this cavary was.
By the way, my Granfather was in the bavarian Cavalrie as "Chevauleger Reg. Nb 1". He was in on, perhapes the las attace with Lances in military histrory, it was against french Cavalry in Alsace in 1914.
I'm very pleased with your worke! Happy painting.

Hi Roger
The beer sounds like a good idea! Dont worry about the figure we all go thru phases where we look and think NO!
You can always go back strip it down and start again Its a learning curve!
Have a few more beers and you will come back firing on all cylinders
Good luck
Cheers
John

Hi John,
Top advice, have you thought of doing it for a living? or do you? :lol:
Just need a break I've been peering at the 'lil fella too long.
Thanks mate,
Roger.

Thank you Christos, I was worried at one point but I don't think it looks too bad now.

Roger,
That's quite a difference--a much better result. Did you send this little fellow to the one-day oven-cleaner spa, or simply paint over the first result with touch-ups?
The close ups can be scary. I also always test the details of my faces (particularly) using my macro feature prior to completing a project. It's amazing what you can see under the unforgiving glare of digital photography!
Have a wheat beer for me! You've earned it.
Cheers,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,
I didn't resort to the oven cleaner bath although I was close. Touch ups seem to have done the trick.
Yes, that macro feature does bring out the ugly truth :lol:
After todays painting session I awarded myself with another wheat it seems to be doing the trick.
I'll post some more pics tomorrow.
