WIP Dragoon of the Guard, 1813

[Richard Baxter]

Thanks for your response on the aurore colour. The only reason I asked was that somewhere in the back of my memory I recall a discussion years ago with Dr Mike Thomas from South Wales, a master Historex modeller, who advised me that it should have a little bit of pink in the pale orange shade to make it look like the sunrise! Just wondered if this advice was still out there in the collective consciousness...

Great work anyway.

 

[Viking Bob]

Yes, I recall some thing like that too.

Very nice indeed Bob , very MM stylistic type of paint job which suits these little masterpieces .
As you say they are a bloody fiddle when it comes to sword slings etc

I like the subtle tones (something I strive for but not always achieve) and the clean well defined work on this subject.

You 'knocked' this one out rather well Bob.
Lovely clean painting precisely handled, very classic just as this type of sculpt suits.
Cheers

A nice job Bob. Looks great.

I like the MM figures - not as dramatic in their pose as some, but then soldiers aren't in dramatic poses for most their careers.

Del. Your very kind, I admire your work so I am reallly chuffed.
