Completed Critique Chasseur A Cheval 1812- March On Moscow

[MarquisMini]

Thank you everyone for the very kind words... I am humbled.
For the most part I am happy with the final result here... For those who mentioned it, the gold braidwork is my least favourite part of the whole thing. The mix I used was the same I used on 75mm scale but I think it lost some effect on the smaller scale, the gold became too strong. I think it might need to be toned down some... very carefully
As for the pics, I tried a couple of different things and I like the darker ones. I was trying to get the same kind of tone as the painting.

I wish I could paint a panel for the background, like the painting... that would be cool.

Again, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement, both now and while I was struggling with this one. The advice and positive words helped me get through it.

Cheers

Colin

Wow Colin!!!
Looks very, very nice! I like the groundwork too. I like a lot what you made with this very nice figurine. It's your interpretation. It was a lot of work but it looks very good!!! Can't wait to see it in person!
Congrats Colin!!!
Cheers,
Zeno

Thank you much Carl!
Thanx Zeno... I'll bring it to the next Paint group.
Thank you Yoshi... I ordered it thru my local shop direct from Masterclass in March, so I guess it's still an in-production piece.
Daniel I'm gonna try to work on the gold some, see what I can do with it
