WIP French Grenadier of Infantry 1798-1803

[Viking Bob]

Just got going with this 54mm resin figure, made a start on the face, Painting is in acrylics so far.
I have not painted a figure this small for ages so fingers crossed.
Figure is from chronos.

Good start on a lovely figure.

Considering you haven't painted this small in a while, it's off to a damn good start.

Cheers Simon

I really like the tone in your face painting, it fits the figure perfectly.

Thank you all very much, my preferred scale is 75mm but I could not resist this figure, so I had to give it a go.
I added the holes in the shoes and did a bit more roughing up of the uniform.

I had seen this one finished and posted on Facebook some time ago, I thought I was slow off the mark. Cheers Mike.

Thank you Mario, I may go cross eyed painting this one.

Facially, he reminds me of actor Peter Wyngarde.

It's been rather warm ( read HOT ) here in the UK over the past week or so and curtailed my painting. The weather has been getting cooler, so painting resumes.
Just a quick pic to show the state of play at the moment.
