Your mouse looks great. Nice arrogant expression on his face.

I too like Historex. Looking forward to seeing this one come along.

Very nice work. The figure's colors just seem to say COLD.

Hope to see some PF members at the show. This year, painters can have a one on one with Atlanta Grand Masters to critique their work. Its a great opportunity, but you must reserve time in advance of the show. Also, the deadline for reserving a spot to have your worked critiqued by one of the...

Super nice job, on painting and the groundwork. I really like this one.

My grand daughter embarrassed my daughter at a funeral when the 6yo gd realized the funeral was what the Hearse Song (The worms crawl in...) was about, and she decided to sing the song loud enough for everyone to hear. Kids can be very embarrassing.

So true, especially when a buckle or other minute part decides to leap off the workbench into the multicolored carpet. Then as I'm on my knees with a magnifying glass, I really get to practice the swearing.

Finally finished this Historex figure of General Junot, Colonel General of Hussars, 1813. It is painted in acrylics (mostly Vallejo) except for the horse which was painted in oils. Junot's head was sculpted by my friend, and the collar and hands I made from green stuff. The horsefly strings are...

I love watching the progress. That coach looks like fun to build.

Yes, I think you are right on the paint being too thick. But search this site for undercoat metallics. I think English Uniform is a good undercoat for gold. Better than black. Black is good under silver. There are lots of good posts on painting metallics. Search, read, try.

Good to make a tree with ready references. I think it is looking good.

Hi Paul, I am very inspired by this project. At the rate I build/paint figures, this would be a 5 year project for me. But when I retire in four years, maybe I can devote more time to something so grand. I have always wanted to create the scene by Horace Vernet of Napoleon and Marshals Berthier...

What are you using to undercoat your metallic paint? I like Air and Game colors, but the undercoat can have a big affect on the metallic color.

I totally agree. Very nice paint job.

Jason, as always, an amazing paint job. How long does it take you to paint a figure like this?

Great looking figure. Might have to add that to the grey army.

Looks real good!

Very nice figure.

Ivo, how many years? This is an excellent piece. The scene is breathtaking and each figure is a masterpiece. Congratulations to you and Daniel.

Smallest brush I like to use is a 1, but the point must be sharp, like a 00. Then unload the brush and use a light touch.
