WIP 120mm Mounted Scots Grey (Cornet)

[Glenn1442]

Changed the base and added a nameplate from nameit. Excellent service by the way. The photo doesn't do the nameplate justice tbh.
(Better crack on with the figure)

They are good and a nice couple too. That said I've never had a name plate done, just don't feel the need as mine get stuck in a cabinet and left to gather dust. Still it does add a touch of class.

Cheers Simon

I have this in my TBD line up. So enjoying your approach.

[Glenn1442]

Thanks Colin. Just 'dithering' over the face colours and approach. I've an acrylic base coat of Vallejo Beige/ Red, but may finish in oils. Also, what colours to choose.

 

[Briggsy]

Love the gold work, it's a couple of decades since I painted a face in oils so I can't help you there.

Cheers Simon

 

[Glenn1442]

Too much choice of colours, acrylic or oil, oil over acrylic etc, etc Driving me mad Simon.

 

[MalcC]

Paint with what you are comfortable with.
Acrylics, oils.... it can drive mad..... it did me.

I doubt there is a properly sane one amongst us to be fair. You'll get some great results either way GP with the paints and colour mix you are familiar and happy with.

Cheers Simon

A bit of progress. I know the face isn't perfect, but for a first attempt, I think it may pass muster. And now for the horse. The reusable multi -purpose tak is from Faber Castell which I used to mask off the leather harness straps.
My thanks to Nap for sending me some heads to practice on. They helped a lot, as I found after much trial and error using oils instead of acrylics for face painting was much easier.

Hi Glenn

Glad you found the heads of use , as for the SG ...the fleshwork looks good so it’s Oils for flesh then ....nice you’ve settled into them

The whole head itself is well done so credit to you certainly passes muster , nice shadow under the peak as well

Looking forward to seeing more

Have fun with the rest

Enjoy the time @ the bench
