WIP 1/9th Sgt. The Black Watch, Sudan 1882 Bust.

[Geoff Charman]

Another bust from Gordon at Mitches Military Models.



A Sgt. of The Black Watch in the Sudan in 1882. I thought his tunic jacket would be tropical issue of khaki but no it's scarlet, so I have that paint pot out again.

All cleaned up and primed.



A bit of reference I found from an Osprey publication.

Geoff - painting tartan is really easy now that Vallejo have released their Tartan range.........

More progress in the last couple of days, Helmet painted and the band.

Plume given base wash of Black Red, then Flat Red followed by Scarlet highlights. Eyes painted in acrylics and gloss varnished.



Face painted in my usual Artist's oils and have tried to give a sunburnt look



Enough for today.

Geoff.
