Hi to all and a WIP Chasseur from MMM

Paul
I've posted a thread on PF concerning a bust version of the trumpeter.

Kurt has put details of a great reference book if you can get hold of one.
Cheers

Paul,
That book is still available on eBay for $12.75 plus shipping. It’s the best reference I’ve found for the Chasseurs of the Guard uniforms.

Good luck,
Kurt

Thanks for the comments guys. Malc what wash should I use on white as I haven't used a wash before.

 

[malc]

I'd be inclined to use paynes grey, well thinned.. but not too much .
Bit by bit till it looks wright to you.

You don't want to flood it.

Thanks Gordon will look for that one.
Cheers
Paul

How did you get on Paul

 

[Paul129]

Hi malc. Sorry for not replying but had the grandkids alot. Is the Payne's grey only
In oils paints if so what is the best way to thin it?
Paul

 

[malc]

If you use oils as I do, WN low odour sansodor solvent.

This is what I use but there are others.

 

[Paul129]

I will get some and try it.

Hi Paul

Good to see your having fun with the grandkids

Catching up with this ..ref banner ...rather than have it hanging can you not lay it over the wall ?


Malc has a good point ...I use acrylics and a mix of black and burnt umber ...but again very thin washes with a tiny bit of white only for the highs , drybrushing is a good way

That book is great

Look forward to more
