Finished Voltiger

[Joe Hudson]

Hello all,

I have finally gotten the pictures for this one down loaded. I enjoyed painting this one and will try to do a few more Napoleonics this coming year. Thanks for looking and all comments welcomed. Thanks again to Ivo Pradea for all his help.

Beautiful work Joe. Could you please share how you shaded the whites and who makes this figure and what scale it is? I would like to get one myself.

Thanks

Thank you for the kind words. The figure is a 54 mm from Metal Models. It is a really Great kit and you both would really enjoy it.

The whites are done in acrylics. I did another couple of figures in white but here is a link to one I actually used some pictures.

But in the meantime , the coat:

base of Deck Tan + offwhite
H: base + more offwhite
HH: offwhite
HHH: offwhite + Ivory
HHHH: ivory

Shadows: Base + German Grey
Deep Shadow: more German Grey

Pants:

Base: Stone Grey + offwhite (I kept this one darker)
Highlight: Base more offwhite. (I actually did some glazes over the whold pants to help blend it, it was alot darker than I normally paint and I was trying for more contrast.)
HH: offwhite
HHH Offwhite + Ivory
HHHH: Ivory and Reaper's Skull white9 I think that is the name, will check to make sure.)

I hope this helps.

Fantastic Joe, besides the white, which is exceptional, I particularly like the effect you've painted on the hide knapsack.
