Général de brigade petite tenue 1er Empire

[Djoubri M]

Hi everyone,

When I saw bill horan's version of the following figure, I decided to enter the hobby.
I bought it from LECIMIER in 2003 and never tried to paint it. Now it seems that it's time to give it a
try...

Wonderful painting of the face. What did you use for the bicorne's gold lace?

Now working on the dark blue uniform...

Thanks Jaybo...gold embrodery are made with yellow gold ink + burnt umber oil

Superb painting and worth the wait, I like the gold lace too.
