Primed the figure and working on the boiled hard leather helmet at the moment....

 

[MarquisMini]

Applied the base color for the coat using vallejo Iraqui Sand and a dab of geman camo brown/black.
Powdered wig is done, start it some shadows on its face to be followed with lights.
For the face i jave used Citadel tallarn Flesh and a dab of cavalry brown.
For the shadows i have added a little bit more of the Cav. Brown, to the base color, well diluted at a ratio of 1:8, for the last shadows i added scale 75 violet .

Thanks my friend!.
For the Leopard turban i try to use buff with a dab of ochre as a base, then paint some dots or "stains" in a darker brown, you can add to the base some flat brown, that will make it slightly darker spot than the base color, then i use a brown/black color to add the circles ( not perfect circles) around the darker spots.
I hope this could be of help

I have applied shadows on the creaces using the darkest color of the Andrea white paint system, just added a little bit of Vallejo English uniform since the color is very shy on the dark side.
I added the first light using the base color (Vallejo iraqui Sand) and a little bit of buff....

 

[MarquisMini]

I've finished the cream white coat, i will still do some blending before i finally seal it.

 

[Oda]

Very good Daniel.You should consider doing larger scales more often.

Thanks my friend, once i finish this chap i have to get back to my Yorktown and finish it, only 9 figures to be done and big diora.a will be completed.

I ha e finished the lights and shadows on the face, still need to do the eyes and lips.
I've painted the base color for the vest and pants using vallejo deck tan with a dab of german grey and Stone grey.
The idea is to go with a colder off white on those garments....
