Bombardier de la Marine, 1780 (Ellie's Miniatures)

[arj]

Hi Folks,

This is one of a set of three AWI busts that I got from Ellie's Miniatures recently.
It's a lovely bust which I found very pleasant and easy to paint.
In fact it proved quite therapeutic when I was struggling with the tartan on my Kirin
Highlander (not finished yet).
The paints are a mixture of oils over enamels (face, wig and bearskin), enamel for
the cross-belt and acrylics for most of the rest. The metal buttons are a printer's
ink/oils mix.
Hope you like it.



Cheers,
Andrew

Paul, Pavol,
Apologies for the late reply.
I'm afraid my eyeballs were a trifle 'tartaned'.
Many thanks for both your kind comments.
