Afternoon everyone! The Chasseur officer is coming on now. Struggling a bit with getting the contrasts right to bring out all the braid and frogging but he's now at a stage where I'm pretty happy. Hope to get him on his horse soon. As usual, all feedback welcome. Regards Pete

 

[Briggsy]

Brilliant, I think the gold frogging will show better when the breeches and pelisse are done. Looking really great.

Cheers Simon

Thanks Simon. I think you are right. I do tend to get obsessed with one area and sometimes just need to move on to see it as a whole piece. Thanks for commenting. Regards Pete

Superb work, you must have eyes like a hawk, its easy to foreget just how tiny these figures are at 28mm.

Thanks for the kind feedback Melanie. I found the face hard....tried it in acrylics without success so reverted to Humbrol enamels which got the job done! Regards Pete

Hi Pete

Your moving on nicely with this , in this scale perhaps so much detail could be too much ?

Possibly look at the highs on the green ? , I think once you add the lining to the pelisse this will help as well

Look forward to seeing more on this fellow

Have fun at the bench

[Tommy Atkins]

Thanks Nap! You are right. The green may well need a lift but I'm going to see what it looks like when a bit more of the other areas are completed. Thanks for looking in. Regards Pete

 

[Tommy Atkins]

Morning all. Getting towards the end now! Hope you like how this little chap is shaping up. Regards Pete

Thanks for looking in Simon. I must confess that the design wasn't painted...it's a reduction of a real one from google images that i I did on the photo copier at work! Seems to work ok though. Regards Pete
