Grenadier Guard, 1854

[rustyratliff]

Here are few pics of the Latorre's Grenadier Gaurd, 1854 completed. This is a wonderful figure and was a joy to paint. I hope I was able to do it justice. I will be picking up more of his stuff. This has occupied most of my free time over the past two weeks. Feel free to make comments or suggestions. I am trying to improve my skills and feed back is the best method I have found to help. Thanks, Rusty

Very nice Rusty -

I especially like the reserved use of snow.

What part of Missouri are you in ?

Thanks guys for the kind comments. This is just a great figure to paint. Ken, I paint in acrylics. I did use oils for some of the shadows on the coat and the weathering of the uniform.
