This figure from Alexandros models is 75mm and in white metal. Sculpted by the very talented Richard Galicek.
He's captured a good likeness in my opinion.
This has been sitting in my GA for sometime, so I thought I'd better get on with it.
The fine detail is certainly going to be a challenge for me.
I've painted the face using AK 3rd generation acrylics, I really like the tones in flesh set.
For the hat I've used scale 75, Graphite grey for the basecoat, for the highlight I added some Cantabric blue, and shade with black.
As for the braiding I experimented with something I've not used before and with luck got a good result.
Scale 75 black was added to Kimera Yellow oxide to dull it down a little and applied as the base colour.
Then I gradually built up thinned layers of Soft tone army painter ink. once dry I added some detail with Vallejo Yellow ochre.
As you can see I'm in the very early stages, and I want to paint the detail on the collar before going any further.
I've marked out the basic detail with walnut, and I'll use a similar mix for the braiding.
