Avanpost 75mm

[Viking Bob]

I have now completed this one from Avanpost, a 75mm French light infantry officer about 1809.
This has been painted in acrylics and ink. The metallic paints I have used are
'Darkstar molten metals'. I find the pigments are a lot finer.
The groundwork is made from sifted soil from a wheat field, which has been put through the microwave to kill off any nasties.

Very nicely done. Excellent presentation and I really like your blue tones, suitably dark for the period

Thank you Nigel, been looking at swatch's of cloth of the period which I found on the metal models site some time ago.

Bob, you keep doing it. This really is excellent. The standard you've painted him to really brings out all the details. Very well done again.
