WIP French Infantry officer 1870

[Viking Bob]

FeR miniatures, elite classics. 75mm scale.
This is going to be a while but it is a figure I have wanted to paint for a while. I have painted the wounded officer with the colours and this is the next one.
I have bulked up the the moustache and goatee with green stuff and added a lanyard for the pistol in 0.2 mm lead wire.
I shall be painting in acrylics and using some brushes I won herein the intermediate comp. The brushes are from Hawk miniatures and are perfect for this job
(thank you Hawk miniatures)

A very nice figure that I am certain you will do full justice too.

Thanks all, I have finished a plinth for him to stand on, that's drying and will upload a photo when that's done. I like to do the base first then I can attach the figure when I have painted the boots.
Thanks for looking in.

I have made the base for the figure to stand on, all in acrylics and the wood was painted in watered down Vallejo smoke 70.939.
