Daniel, I have missed a couple of updates, been a busy weekend. He is coming along a treat, love what you've done so far and the use of colour in so small a space is really good, hungry for more!

Cheers Simon

More is coming Sir Simom ;-)

 

[MarquisMini]

Whites are done, gold trim as well.
Layed the coat base color using Andrea Acrylics Navy Blue.

Splendid as always, I also get shakey hands with small detail, bracing the hands and elbows is about all that can be done to stop it, often thought if I was clever enough a simple jig/frame built to help that would be a great idea

Cheers Simon

7 years on one piece shows real dedication.
I'm in awe of your sculpting skills in such a small scale, not to mention your painting,
the detail is top notch.

Maybe we can create a device for shaky hands ;-)

Blues are done,
I added citadel Fenrys Grey to the Andrea Navy Blue for lights, for shadows added black.
Still need to outline the entire coat.

Really very good indeed, some of those Citadel paints are really useful colours, just that some have such stupid names, I have a Snot Green somewhere or other!

Cheers Simon

They have funky names indeed,
I am holding onto these 3 pots from the former " Citadel Old guard" Foundation paints.
I know i my heart that no Paint ever will be as good for me as these 3 colors.
Charadon granite goes 100% on every boot/ shoes and sword scabbard i paint, Tallarn flesh is my base color for every face i paint.
Fenrys grey is my to go paint for worn blue uniform .
