Good work. And drilling out the crown was worth doing, it definitely looks better.

Coming on nicely Nap.
Dark Blue can be tricky to paint at times. Have you got Indigo, that seems to work well for me.

Agree there ...haven't got a indigo in Acrylics ...don't want to go too light on the blue !

Cheers for comment

Thanks Nigel ...should have left it as the sculpt rather than infilling !

Hi Kev,
Blucher (frightened horse whinnies in background) is looking good.

Couple of pics where I am atm , little bit more to do on flesh but put a gray base with a burnt Umber wash over on hair and moustache etc

He dyed his moustache and eyebrows with the hair remained gray ...will have a hint of his original colour
