British Light Dragoon (Pegasso)

[Marcel]

Hi everybody,

I start painting this little gem from Pegasso. It's their 54 mm British Light Dragoon sculpted by Maurizio. And box-art painted by Danilo. Hope to paint it decently, I will do my best . Here are the first early pictures. The face and hair is finished the helmet need still some more adjustments. The the collar and tunic received some highlights and shadow still have to be applied.

Thanks for looking and comments and critiques are welocome.

Marcel.

Thanks for the compliments Tommi, Tony, Guy and Sam!

Sam, the mixture for the face is very similar to the one of Jaume. With this face I wanted a bit lighter look so added light flesh for the lighter tones. For the shadows also a little bit of burnt umber is added. (all colors Vallejo)

Update

Some more paintwork done on the British light dragoon.

Almost finished the jacket only some more shadows have to be painted.
The blouse is painted and the braidwork which I'm not so happy about in the end.

There is also an insigna on his helmet, does anybody know how which colors they have to be?

Thanks for looking and comments are welcome!!

Marcel.

Marcel,
You are doing some superbe painting on this figure. The braidwork only needs some shadow to let them pop out.
Here is a link where you can find some usual information about the uniform.
