Cheers, Martin

Sure, my friend! It will be my pleasure to do it. Just let me know what you decide and we will take it from there.
Cheers,

P.S. Not sure why I can't quote your post - probably a glitch. I'm clicking the "quote" button and nothing happens.

Thanks very much for a superb tutorial on how to paint 54mm Napoleonic staff figures.
I've been working my way slowly through the Napoleonic Marshals, but I've book-marked this post for when I start the next one.
Cheers,
Andrew

Looks great mate. Long have I been envious of your sculpting now also your smaller scale painting skills. You make it look so easy! I have to keep reminding myself that it's 54mm!

 

[Mat Lambert]

Superb. Especially interesting to see how all the gold braid progressed. Result is great - really stands up to the close up photography you've done.
Cheers
Mat

More progress. Re-did his face.Added groundwork including an Historex Grenadier bearskin on the ground. The model depicts Dorsenne at Essling in 1809 where his grenadiers stood their ground under a horrendous artillery bombardment. The grounded bearskin would belong to one of his grognards unlucky enough to get hit.

Great work. The bearskin on the ground is a nice touch- especially as it's inside is properly finished.

Cheers

Huw

 

[Alex]

third face is spot on congrats !

 

[NickM]

Beautifully done Colin, and I agree with Huw. The bearskin on the ground is a very nice touch.

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Thanks gents. I still need to do some minor touches like texturing the dropped head gear and dusting up his boots a bit (thanks Zeno).

Well done Colin. I too collect Napoleonic signatures. Please send me the particulars on Julian in a PM if you would be so kind. All the best.
