Stunning work Brian and your weathering is outstanding. So glad you added apiece just on the flag, always a tricky colour with so much yellow.

I'd be a happy man to reach that standard of work. Simply great. Love the weathering on the shako and all the muck and grime.

Super work on this one Brian Ive always been a fan of your style

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Nice job and always a pleasure to see some individual style rather than a rush toward commonality. Your version is very distinctive yet very evocative of the period. Love it!

Brian excellent painting and well worth the wait . That's some hardcore realistic weathering mate and if any figure truly deserves the title "After the battle" this one does.

Cheers Ken

Thanks ken for your kind words i'm glad you liked the finsh mate

 

[smudger1960]

Too much! I love it. Great work all over, superb realization of the weathering, wounded knee, flag, small details etc.
Great presentation and historical context review. Great work.

[smudger1960]

Very nice Brian Definitely a smudgerism Great weathering face is good also ,and yellow what can one say ! not the easiest of oil colours to handle
your method sounds good. One little minor point Brian ,the sword knot seems to be defying gravity

ron

Hi Ron,many thanks mate for your kind words,i know what you mean about the sword knot,that was my fault as the box art shows the sword more pointed to the ground whereas my sword angle is horizontal,i did'nt want to mess with it in the end as i was affraid i might snap it,hope your keeping well mate
