Nicely done sir. Been waiting to see one of these completed.

 

[Edward]

I recently finished painting this figure. I really like your version!

 

[MENTAL DENTAL]

Edward,
I don't know what it is but the photography seems to soften a lot of the detail on the painting. I'll have to experiment.

I've put an old Napoleonic on of Lord Uxbridge..................long since sold to a collector in the USA.

Cheers Dave speak again soon!

 

[Edward]

Your photos look good - I still haven't worked out how to take decent well focused pics..

Hi Danillo,
Good to here from you. I am a little out of practise, but I will work on it ! Maybe see you next year!!

Perfect paintwork David.
I'm painting this figure at the moment, but i'm confused.
On the http://www.themilitarygentleman.com/ProdList.asp?prev=true the dress is black. Yours is blue.
I don't know what color to paint.

I used a book showing a dark blue. When I get back home I'll send the name of the book and author. All other dragoon paintings I have seen are of a dark blue


Cheers Dave

 

[Edward]

Marc they wore very dark blue. Here is a pic.

 

[megroot]
